Hands to Help

Flood Funds

The monsoon rainfall of 2022 has adversely affected Pakistan causing floods, flash floods, and landslides that resulted in an increasing number of casualties and damage. The damage caused by the floods is beyond measure. More than 1000 people have lost their lives to the devastating flood, 1,456 suffered injuries, 802,583 livestock have been washed away, and 682,139 houses have collapsed. The destructive flood has ravaged roads, crops, homes, cattle, communication lines, electricity systems, clean water supply, and the bridges have been washed away destroying the entire infrastructure of the affected areas. It is predicted to be the worst flood situation in the country’s history as compared to the devastating floods of 2010 – the deadliest in Pakistan’s history – which left more than 2,000 people dead.

According to an estimate, the lives of 5.7 million people have been affected across Pakistan and the numbers are increasing.
