Floods in Pakistan
Unprecedented monsoon rains have triggered flash floods in Pakistan, killing more than 1,300 people. Hundreds more are missing and it is feared that the death toll could rise further.

World Vision is moving swiftly to begin providing food and clean water, medical assistance, shelter, hygiene kits and other basic relief items.

Children and women who are suffering from poor health and unhygienic conditions are most at risk. World Vision’s response will target families in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North West Frontier Province), where thousands of mud houses have been washed away, leaving people living along roadsides, roof tops and seeking refuge on higher ground. The heavy rains and flooding have also caused significant losses to livestock and damage to agricultural crops, fields and warehouses for grain storage.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Baluchistan and Punjab are the worst-affected areas of the flooding. In KPK alone, at least 550,000 people and 25 districts have been impacted by the most severe floods since 1929. The UN estimates that more than one million people have been affected by the flooding. World Vision has worked in Pakistan since 1992, and has more than 150 staff.
