About our Pakistan Floods Appeal
The people of Pakistan are suffering. Unusually heavy monsoon rains have caused catastrophic flash flooding across the country.
Pakistani authorities have declared a national state of emergency. More than 1,000 people have been killed, 1,456 injured and and over 33 million people — 15% of the population — displaced since mid-June. The worst crisis in over a decade, 100 districts across four provinces have been affected.
Millions are now homeless with 581,207 houses destroyed. With many regions inaccessible, millions of people are cut off from essentials like food, clean water and electricity.
Families have lost their livelihoods with more than 793, 995 livestock deaths and millions of acres of cultivated crops destroyed.
As people flee their homes in search of higher ground and safety, many will continue to risk their lives.
To make matters worse, rising flood waters are making it difficult for emergency workers to reach and rescue thousands of people who are stranded. Balochistan and Sindh are the worst-affected areas.
Our partners are on the ground now, providing life-saving essentials like food, medical aid and shelter.
From as little as $25 you could provide a lifeline. Donate now and help the people of Pakistan.
$25 could provide a survival kit for a vulnerable family
$50 could provide a food pack for a vulnerable family (food supplies for a month for a family of 7)
$150 could provide shelter to keep a vulnerable family safe from flood waters
$700 could provide life-saving medical aid (includes treatment and the costs of medicine)
