Help Support the IACD local group in Pakistan respond to the floods. A message from the IACD Asia Regional Director, Shakeel Abro, from Pakistan:
Thank you for the concern you've shown during recent tragedy in Pakistan. We are facing a worst flood here in Pakistan and the number of people suffering from the massive floods in Pakistan exceeds 13 million – more than the combined total of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
After Balochistan and Khyber Pukhatoonkhuwa, flood and heavy rains
have badly affected Sindh Province of Pakistan. Threat of increasing
damage to millions of people and their property is fostering. Since
last two-three days, floodwater with heavy rains has entered in Sindh
with huge intensity and larger capacity, which seems to be
uncontrollable and devastating. It has affected more than one million
people in few districts of Sindh. Till now, more than 400 breaches have
been reported in different canals resulting into severe inundation
which has destroyed properties of billion rupees including the ruining
houses, destroying crops and livestock along home appliances and other
valuable things. Damage to public infrastructure is in addition to the
loss of private property. Thank you for the concern you've shown during recent tragedy in Pakistan. We are facing a worst flood here in Pakistan and the number of people suffering from the massive floods in Pakistan exceeds 13 million – more than the combined total of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
