Pakistan Flooding Response

Acerca de este Oportunidad benéfica

Over half of Pakistan has been impacted by the worst flooding in recent memory.

Pakistan’s seasonal monsoon rains typically start in July, but this year’s rains came early and are especially heavy — flooding began in June. The flash flooding is destroying homes, washing away crops and putting millions of families at risk. The shocking number of people impacted is increasing regularly, already more than 1,000 people have lost their lives while hundreds of thousands are now homeless. Pakistan's climate change minister has announced that 33 million people have been affected.
