05 August 2010

  • ActionAid Pakistan and its partners on the ground are busy with relief and rescue efforts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.
  • Emergency flood relief committees have been formed in Layyah, Mianwali and Bhakkar, which are working with district government to ensure food and other supplies reach the most affected people.
  • In Layyah, ActionAid has provided essential medicines to 600 women, children and men through district health centres.
  • We are also providing cooked food to 600 people who have taken shelter in a government school.
  • Our partner in Kot Adu has provided transport support to help the district government evacuate more than 2,000 people to safer locations - 70 were women and children.
  • In Khushab and Mianwali, 100 families have been provided clean drinking water and more than 200 people have received relief packages.
  • In Bagh we helped affected people in evacuation, restoration of water supply schemes and relief package distribution.
  • In upper Swat, food packages, household kits and hygiene kits are being distributed to the affected families. Despite serious access problems due to damaged roads and bridges, our partner on the ground is mobilising local volunteers to ensure food and non food items reaches the most difficult areas.
