There are so many stories...One lady had her baby who was received with great joy, yet 5 days later they lost their home and all their possessions due to the flood. Mother and baby were then exposed to the open sky and our team managed to find her a tent to provide at least some temporary relief - a traumatic way to start life!

Our Emergency Response Team from UAE is on high alert, and we are actively monitoring the situation in other regions. They are coordinating with district, provincial, and national government levels, as well as relevant stakeholders, to assess the current situation.

Our team conducted a needs assessment and initiated an emergency response in Sohbatpur and Jaffarabad, the most affected districts of Balochistan, providing lifesaving assistance to 3980 flood-affected individuals with medical support, food packs, and non-food items.
