As a result of continuous monsoon rains, a flood surge has swept south along the Indus River displacing millions and spreading devastation.
Latest data from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) estimates that the floods have led to the displacement of a population of 14 million with 1,392 deaths and 1,985 injuries. Of course, these numbers will continue to rise as efforts to provide relief have not even begun to fully address the widescale devastation caused by flooding.
Current conditions in Pakistan demand an immediate response. MADRE is partnering with Shirkat Gah, a women's organization based in Pakistan. This organization will be supported through MADRE Emergency Disaster and Relief Fund: Pakistan. Your donations will go towards providing basic necessities such as water, food, clothing and shoes and will aid Shirkat Gah's efforts to distribute medicines and relief on the ground.
