The worst floods in memory in Pakistan have devastated the lives of more than three million people so far. Flooding has ravaged hundreds of villages in Pakistan, destroying homes, soaking crops, wiping out livestock, and threatening more lives. According to weather reports, bloated rivers are expected to surge further south soon, flooding more areas. According to the National Weather Forecasting Center in Islamabad, the country has received 25-30 percent more rain this season than the annual monsoon averages. The catastrophe has already killed more than 1,600 people, and is likely to deepen as more rains are expected and conditions remain threatening for the outbreak of disease.
Nur Foundation has joined hands with Fatima Memorial Hospital, to undertake a medical relief initiative as well as a general relief and rehabilitation programme for flood victims, particularly in the most acutely hit areas in the north-western province of Khyber Pukhtoonkhuwa, and Muzzafargarh in Southern Punjab. All donations in cash and kind, as well a donation of voluntary commitment are welcomed. At this time Nur Foundation and Fatima Memorial Hospital are equipping mobile health and relief units to operate in the target areas. The most pressing need at this time is for:
