Pakistan Floods

ActionAid in Pakistan - Your donations count

Between August 2010 and January 2011, ActionAid raised a total of €6 million Euro across all of our ActionAid country programs who fundraised and collectively we reached 220,952 people (or 27,619 families).

Shortly after the floods began, Actionaid Pakistan began distributing food packagess, non-food items (inlcuding plastic sheets for shelter and hygiene kits) and fodder for livestock. In the first three months alone we reached 18,188 families with these immediate relief supplies.

"Our mobile medical camps are providing essential medical care and medicines to people who have been badly affected by the floods and have no money to buy medicines. Hundreds of women and children have been treated for diarrhoea, skin and eye infections and common fevers. We have arranged for women health workers to provide medical assistance to attend to pregnant women." Ghaffar Pandrani (President of NGOs Development Society, ActionAid's local partner in Shahdadkot-Sindh).  

• The floods have affected 20.36 million people, of which over 75% are in Sindh and Punjab.
• There are 1.5 million people in 4,200 relief camps in the Sindh province.
• Over 195,000 cases of suspected malaria have been reported. There's also an increase in acute diarrhoea, skin diseases and respiratory diseases.
