Home Humanitarian Floods Strike Sindh Once Again
Floods Strike Sindh Once Again

Flood waters have once again destroyed towns, villages and peoples' lives as it rampages through the division of Sindh. Government warnings detailing the extreme weather have been issued in an attempt to prevent loss of life and damage to private as well as public property.

Sindh is a fertile region, often described as the bread basket of the country. The flood is a result of heavy rains that began back in August and worsened as time passed.

We are in the process of establishing how we can support their requirements for food, medicine and any other essentials our ground team may need.

To date we have sent funds corresponding to more than 500 Food Ration Packs.

You can support this cause, the cost of one Food Ration Pack is as little as £10 which will help the citizens and the innocent that have been affected by this disaster.

The picture above shows the amount of torrential rain that has fallen on to the Sindh province and the devastation it has caused. The floods bring other problems as well; 7,000 people have been treated for snake bites, disease spread by water is expected to hit 2 million more and live stock have been so badly affected it may take years to recover losses.

Areas that have been hit the worse by flooding are said to be completely submerged and will remain so for up to 6 months. 

This appeal is to raise awareness of the desperate situation the people of Pakistan are experiencing. If you would like to help or donate in any way

The floods are a result of an extreme monsoon season. The rains poured and poured for nearly 72 hours.

In this time, Badin had collected a record breaking 615.3mm of rain (24.22 Inches). The villagers are describing this flood as even worse than the 2010 floods that drenched Pakistan in destruction and loss.
