With the most severe flooding on record in over 80 years, northern Pakistan is reeling from a natural disaster of significant scale and scope. As estimates of the dead and displaced rise steadily since the flooding began — and with more monsoon rains on the way— the international humanitarian organisation Action Against Hunger | ACF International has launched an emergency response to help stem the outbreak of disease and waterborne illnesses.
Current estimates indicate that more than 1,500 lives have been lost to the floodwaters, hundreds of thousands remain stranded, and between two and three million people have been forced to flee their homes and are in need of emergency assistance. Action Against Hunger’s teams are assessing the situation, but the scale of the crisis, the chaos of the displacement, the impending monsoons and the destruction of vital infrastructure pose great challenges to the relief effort.
To assist the funding for Action Against Hunger's efforts, we will be taking part in London's very first Twin Peak Challenge; an ascent of the never ending staircases of two of London's most iconic buildings in succession, CityPoint and The Broadgate Tower on Sunday 7th November 2010.
