notes: FROM THE SITE: Pakistan Flood Emergency Response Since Friday, July 30, Relief International has been providing immediate humanitarian relief through emergency health services and the provision of clean water, shelter and emergency supplies to families affected by the heavy rains and floods in Pakistan. To date, an estimated 1,500 people have perished and up to one million are displaced after monsoon rains -- considered the worst since the 1920s -- triggered raging flood waters in the northwest region of Pakistan. Relief International has been working in Pakistan since the 2005 earthquake. Our team of more than 300 staff was already working with populations displaced by recent conflict in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Balochistan as the monsoons hit, impacting the same population. Relief International's immediate support efforts in KPK and Balochistan provinces of Pakistan include: * Deployment of mobile emergency health units to ensure families immediate access to primary care and medical supplies, with the first team of 10 seasoned local emergency medical staff deploying to the remote Swat Valley, which has been cut off due to nearly 40 bridges collapsing. * Distribution of Emergency Family Kits that include water purification tablets, clean water receptacles and shelter materials (plastic sheeting and rope). * Provision of adequate drinking water to communities suffering from water contamination and to those communities with no access to water at all; this includes distribution of water treatment supplies and clean water resources to prevent spread of water-borne disease such as cholera. * Distribution of lifesaving food rations to thousands of families in Swat and other regions. Please help flood-affected families in Pakistan today with a donation to the Pakistan Flood Emergency Response. Pakistan is a developing nation that faces challenges to growth on various fronts, including low education levels, high unemployment rates, and political instability. Internal military operations in tribal zones and the war in Afghanistan contribute to Pakistan’s increasingly volatile domestic state of affairs. As one of a select few organizations to respond immediately to the deadly 2005 earthquake, which claimed over 70,000 lives and innumerable buildings, Relief International-Schools Online has worked in Pakistani communities ever since to spur local development and meet disaster related critical needs. RI-SOL serves the Pakistani people through projects in construction, livelihood development, emergency response, and health and nutrition. ------------------------------------- From the InterAction site - Pakistan Floods Response 2010: Relief International is mobilizing to immediately aid communities affected by the heavy rains and floods in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Balochistan provinces of Pakistan.

ISSUE AREA: Civil Society, Strengthening of, Disaster Response, Education, Food Security, Health, Shelter/Housing -> From RELIEF WEB: Pakistan: Flood Rapid Assessment Report KHYBER PAKHTOONKHWA Source: Relief International (RI) Date: 15 Aug 2010 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The recent floods in Pakistan have resulted in devastation across the country. On July 27, heavy rains started falling throughout Khyber Paktoonkwha (KPK) Province, impacting more 1.5 million people, and severely damaging at least 156,934 homes. Due to the inaccessibility of many affected areas, agencies are still determining specific data regarding the magnitude of the destruction. August 3 to 6, the RI team in KPK collected primary data in KPK. The most vulnerable populations at present are pregnant women, elders, and children. RI's team found that most of the population in the flood affected areas have been forced to leave their villages and are seeking shelter on higher ground or host communities, while shelter and basic needs are unmet due to the level of the destruction in the area and the inaccessibility that the flood has created for government and relief agencies. --------------------------------------- FROM THE SITE: Pakistan Flood Emergency Response Since Friday, July 30, Relief International has been providing immediate humanitarian relief through emergency health services and the provision of clean water, shelter and emergency supplies to families affected by the heavy rains and floods in Pakistan.
