September 30th Update
For many months, above average rainfall has led to unprecedented flooding across much of Pakistan. Across the country, 80 districts have been declared as ‘calamity hit’ covering a massive area from Baluchistan and Sindh in the south, to Gilgit and KPK in the north. There are recent signs that water levels are receding, but this is also revealing the scale of the longer-term damage inflicted by the floods in these areas.
Over 2 million homes have now been damaged or totally washed away, leaving 7.9 million people displaced. Whilst HF teams have been visiting provinces, their assessment is that at least 70% of mud brick homes have been washed away, and even brick homes are showing extensive cracks. Many families are in makeshift shelters on the side
of roads.
September 24th Update
For many months, above average rainfall has led to unprecedented flooding across much of Pakistan. Across the country, 80 districts have
been declared as ‘calamity hit’ covering a massive area from Baluchistan and Sindh in the south, to Gilgit and KPK in the north. Over 1.1
million homes have been damaged of which over 436k have been destroyed, and in many cases, washed away.
In total 33 million people have been affected and reports suggest a third of the entire country flooded. Water is now receding, but housing and
livelihood is still not restored and will take many months to return to some normalcy. Many people are living in ad hoc camps with virtually no hygiene and sanitation, very little food, and no access to medication. Official figures
suggest that over 1500 people have died but the figures are likely to be higher due to the remote nature of many villages.

September 9th Update
In total, 33 million people have been affected and reports suggest a third of the entire country is flooded. Around 6 million need urgent help.
Many people live in ad hoc camps with
virtually no hygiene and sanitation, very little food, and no access to medication. An estimated 1,400 people have died and 12,700 injured, but the figures are likely to be higher due to the remote nature of many villages and that many health centers are flooded and unable to report.
As the impact of the flooding continues, growing
cases of Typhoid, Diarrhea, Hepatitis A, Malaria, and Dengue fever are appearing in villages and camps. Living conditions are also leading to growing skin complaints, and in these conditions, there is a growing risk of snake and scorpion bites.
