Pakistan is undergoing the worst floods in history

Pakistan suffered from the worst floods in its history last July and still remains inundated. Thirty out of 170 million Pakistani people were affected. Officials figures put the number of death toll at 1,781 and the number of the injured at 2,966. Settlement areas were damaged, 2 million people were made homeless, food stocks were washed away, animals perished, farmlands were submerged, and people lost their income sources. The need for clean drinking water and the risk of disease epidemics soared after the floods.

The need for clean drinking water, shelter and food runs high. Emergency aid is still needed two months after the floods in areas where flood waters have not receded yet.

 

 

IHH relief works in affected areas

The IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation has been distributing clean water, canned food and hotfood in the affected areas. More than 150 tons of food items and over five tons of medications have so far been delivered to the country. The total amount of supplies delivered to the region is around 640 tons.

Daily food, cleaning and health services are provided to more than 1,000 families in three tent camps. Blankets and clothes manufactured at the IHH textile workshop in the country are delivered to affected areas. A hundred houses are being built as part of a project to construct permanent shelters for the people who lost their houses in the floods. The houses will be handed to families in November. Preparations are underway to construct water treatment plants, provide livestock to families who lost their sources of income, donate rickshaws, seeds and fertilizers.
