Humanitarian Crisis in NWFP

Over 1 Million People displaced in NWFP

Help us dry their tears

Pakistan is facing one of its worst humanitarian emergencies as millions of people are displaced from their homes due to the ongoing military operation in parts of NWFP. Thousands of our citizens are in distress, and do not have a roof over their heads, do not have food, access to clean drinking water or access to any healthcare facilities. NUR Foundation and its collaborating partners Fatima Memorial Hospital and Jahanara Memorial Trust have set up a relief camp in Mardan to provide immediate relief to IDPs in the area.

Balochistan Relief

In June 2007, NUR Foundation took the lead in channeling relief for flood affectees in Baluchistan, whose lives were torn apart by Cyclone Yemin and the resulting floods, which destroyed homes, and left thousands marooned without any access to food and water supplies. Underserved communities in remote locations are continuously in need of help. To extend aid to these communities, NUR Foundation launched Operation “Shashaan" for flood relief. The operation drew its name from “Shashaan” a famous mountain in Khuzdar which has been a reference point in history of Baloch tribesmen since time immemorial.

Earthquake Relief and Rehabilitation

NUR Foundation commenced operations in October 2005, in response to the devastating earthquake that destroyed millions of lives across Pakistan. NUR Foundation was one of the first organizations to reach Mansehra District of NWFP following the October 8th Earthquake tragedy. In collaboration with its collaborating partner, the Fatima Memorial System (Lahore),  NUR Foundation provided medical aid, food and shelter to the affectees. From food to clothes, from medicines to surgical instruments, from tents to homes, from breaking concrete to rescuing survivors,  NUR Foundation did all that was possible. After the immediate relief and rehabilitation effort, NUR Foundation assisted Fatima Memorial System in setting up a permanent Hospital in Jared  the largest village in the Kaghan Valley which lost one fourth of its residents and almost all its houses, in the earthquake. The infrastructure includes a Hospital building and a residence for the two Medical Officers who run the facility round the clock.  Back-up medical staff is available from the tertiary care teaching Fatima Memorial Hospital (FMH).
