Flash Floods in Balochistan & Sindh Provinces


During June 2007, the southern coast of Pakistan was hit by cyclone Yemyin which gave way to torrential rains throughout the region. Due to the heavy rains in various areas of southern Pakistan, flash floods occurred in various districts of Balochistan and Sindh Provinces. The floods were among the worst registered in the past ten years and an estimated 2.5 million people were affected with some 250,000 made homeless. Many schools which were less affected by the disaster were occupied by Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who were left homeless.

Karachi Relief initiative

We gathered roughly around a crore's worth of food and basic supplies and moved the afflicted out to the shelters. Our volunteers put together survival packets containing food, basic medicines and other survival supplies and distributed these to 2,500 families.

Quetta (October 30 2008) more than 150 people were killed around Quetta when a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck before dawn and destroyed as many as 20 villages. As many as 3,000 people may have been displaced as nearly 2,000 houses were destroyed by the earthquake.

Karachi Relief initiative

Karachi Relief took measures to arrest the matter in time to avoid a wide-spread humanitarian crises by taking up initiatives to build shelters for the displaced. Additionally food rations were contributed among the affectees.
