Rehabilitation and Providing Relief to Flood Victims in Pakistan
Compassion Pakistan is the project of “Ambassadors In Mission" to provide emergency supplies at the time of disasters. Torrential rains and flooding that have affected Pakistan in recently, with at an estimated 1,600 dead and 17.2 million affected. Some 1.5 million people are now homeless. The floods which began in the northern parts of country have spread to four provinces covering over 132,000 square kilometers, or about 82,000 square miles. (Pakistan's total square miles: 340,132.) As the rains continue, the waters are moving downstream like a rolling earthquake affecting Punjab and Sindh provinces further south. In Sindh, villages in the area of Dadu and Mehar Taluka have been flooded.
Thus far, some 186 villages in Sindh have been affected in seven local municipalities, affecting 38,656 individuals in Pakistan. There is a desperate need of food, clean drinking water, medical aid and shelter. The need for help is urgent as the struggle to stay alive is getting worse. We are still in the process of providing food and arranging a series of free medical camps in these flood affected areas. There is a risk or a real danger of the spread of waterborne diseases like diarrhea, asthma, skin allergies and perhaps cholera. Also, we have shifted those who are seriously injured or affected with real bad diseases into the hospitals. We have planned to provide medical kits for pain and fever relief, rehydration salt and water purification tablet to the affected people, we have met.
REQUEST FOR HELP: The cost of cooked food for three times in a day and water for 100 families is Rs. 99000 [USD 1150]. We need more support to continue the food distribution. We already have provided Blankets, Dry Food packets, medicines, pillows and clothes to the 500 families, though we are in process to build 100 shelters for effected families. The cost of a wooden shelter is Rs. 3000 [USD 35] and the total cost of 100 shelters would go to Rs. 300000 [USD 3500].
People are asking our help… they had nothing to cover their heads and the toilets as well. We will also make toilets, at least 3 for ladies and 3 for gents. The cost of making a toilet is Rs. 5000 [USD 60]. Please change your concerns into actions. We have not enough, but with your support we can make a big difference. Please help us to help them. Every small amount can help & would go a long way! For more details of Flood Relief Activities, please see the Flood Victims page.
We are looking forward to hear you. Thank you for your generous support and donations.
God bless you
