Over 33 million people are directly impacted by one of the worst floods in Pakistan. Nightmarish scenes are being witnessed as massive floods wreak havoc and devastation across the country.
UNITED SIKHS volunteers have stepped up with humanitarian aid efforts in multiple locations in the country to help provide emergency relief to families in need.
- Distribution of food and water among 12000 families including children, women, and men in two camps in Charsada district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Nearly 2 lakh people are impacted due to flash floods in the district Charsada, 70 km from Peshawar.
Herdyal Singh, Project Director, United Sikhs Pakistan, said, “We have received request to assist 20,000 more families as we responded swiftly to the crisis, deploying teams and resources for emergency relief in the affected areas.”
Due to the massive scale of the floods, several areas still remain cut off as roads and bridges have been destroyed, and communication systems have collapsed. The teams are making every effort to reach and serve difficult-to-access areas as UNITED SIKHS is making efforts to expedite the relief operations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Baluchistan and Punjab as well, he said.
- “While we provide emergency items like milk powder, sanitary pads, food, drinking water, mattress, mats, and non-food items (NFIs), we are gearing up to set up free medical camps in Nowshera and other districts as the threat of diseases due to water-borne diseases and infections from nearly 8 lakhs of carcasses of cattle looms large,” he added. A temple is also under water in Nowshera, a district with sizeable population of Hindus and Christians.
Due to the heavy rain in Shikarpur, a building’s roof collapsed, killing 2 people on the spot.
- Dr. Sagarjeet Singh, a volunteer of the UNITED SIKHS Medical Core and Member of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee immediately moved the Swaroop of Sri Guru Granth sahib Ji Maharaj to a nearby Gursikh Family residence.
