Emergency in Pakistan

Over 4.2 million people have been affected by the deadly floods in Pakistan in the worst climate disaster in a decade. Unprecedented heavy monsoon continues to devastate and displace vulnerable communities across the country. One million people have lost their houses, and the death toll from the five weeks of rains has reached 903, half of whom are children and women.

The devastating floods exacerbate the country’s already-struggling financial crisis. Some 12 million acres of crops have been overtaken by flood waters, ruining the harvest season and decimating food supplies.

The Islamic Relief global community has had an ongoing emergency effort to help survivors since early August, and the Islamic Relief Pakistan is on the ground to get aid to those who need it most. Your donation right now can be a part of this important effort. Donate to IRUSA’s Pakistan Humanitarian Aid fund to send relief, and stay tuned to this page for updates to come.

Focus on Pakistan

Pakistan has the fifth largest population in the world. The country is sorely affected by political and economic volatility as well as natural disasters caused by climate change, both of which have led to food insecurity and chronic poverty. Marginalized groups, especially children, lack proper access to essential services. And Covid-19 has only exacerbated the situation.

On top of that, temperatures have been rising across the country since mid-March and heatwaves have resulted in drought-like conditions (ironically, flooding, like that of this current emergency, is common in areas that suffer from drought because the ground cannot absorb the rain fast enough, causing the rain to run over). In certain parts of the country, agriculture is a main source of income. Without access to water, the livestock suffer and people’s livelihoods are at risk. Islamic Relief has implemented responses to help families affected, and these include access to water; the provision of drought resilient crops and animal fodder for livestock; and health interventions regarding nutrition
