Concern is prioritizing the distribution of: clean water, food, shelter, emergency medical assistance, mosquito nets, and basic hygiene and kitchen items. Concern is assessing the impact of the crisis in Punjab and Sindh Provinces, where we also have staff and local partners. Concern is currently reaching 63,000 people, but aims to scale up in the coming weeks. ----------------------------------------------------- From the SITE: Facing challenges in Pakistan 18 August 2010 So far, 5,700 families have been helped by Concern Worldwide’s emergency response in Pakistan. Following our assessments in Sindh province in south Pakistan, we are planning to increase the number of people we’re working with from 10,000 to 20,000 families. This means we’ll be reaching over 150,000 people. Urgent need We will be targeting some of the worst-affected families in Sindh province, we will be distributing items such as kitchen sets, hygiene kits and blankets. We will also work to ensure they have access to clean water. ----------------------------------------------------- From the site - 2010 Pakistan Floods: PAKISTAN APPEAL: RAGING FLOODS NOW AFFECTING 12 MILLION (updated August 8, 2010) For the millions affected by massive floods in Pakistan, the need for basic shelter and other survival essentials is urgent, according to UNOCHA. Unprecedented levels of heavy rain have triggered the worst flooding on record in Pakistan. The situation is worsening, with an estimated 12 million people now affected, losing their homes and livelihoods. Reportedly, over 1,400 are dead and 80,000 homes destroyed. More extremely heavy monsoon rains are on the way--and officials fear the worst. Concern’s emergency team is on the ground reaching people with food, water, shelter, and emergency medical assistance. RISING THREATS: MORE RAIN ON THE WAY After causing huge damage and losses in KP Province, floodwaters are now surging down from the northwest through the agricultural "heartland" of Punjab Province: according to recent reports. over 1.4 million acres of land in Punjab have been devastated. such damage to farms and crops will devastate the economy. Concern has programs in Punjab and is working through local partners to do a rapid needs assessment and determine our response there. Humanitarian assistance is urgently needed to reach communities affected by the raging floodwaters. More monsoon rains are expected to hit Pakistan in the next few days, escalating the damage and triggering even more floods. We are currently responding in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), reaching the most vulnerable people with the following: * shelter * clean water * emergency medical assistance * dry rations of food * mosquito nets * basic hygiene and kitchen items Our Emergency Health response will involve mobile medical tents with facilities for men, women and children. Concern has been working in Pakistan since 2001, with vastly experienced emergency personnel already in place in worst-affected areas to respond to this disaster. Floodwaters have cut off or totally submerged huge areas, particularly communities along the river Kabul in Charsadda District, making access difficult if not impossible at present. Although access is difficult, our teams and local partners are on the ground trying to collect as much information on humanitarian needs as possible and reach affected populations. Roads and bridges have been damaged or cut off by floods, and the aid community is worried about public health threats posed by waterborne diseases. Concern has over 50 staff in Pakistan, mostly local staff, and 9 local partners.
