Pakistan Flooding 2011

22/09/2011

Ottawa, ON - HUMANITARIAN COALITION member agencies, CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam-Québec, Plan Canada and Save the Children Canada, are all carefully monitoring the situation in Pakistan as severe flooding affects large parts of the country and are preparing appropriate humanitarian relief activities.

In this complex and rapidly evolving crisis, HUMANITARIAN COALITION member agencies are determining how they can best provide assistance, including urgently needed food, water and medical supplies. Flooding in Sindh and Balochistan provinces of Pakistan has already affected over seven million people. This is the second year of flooding in the regions, hitting many people affected by last year's floods. 

Member agencies are carrying out assessments across the region and will be revising their response plans as the situation evolves. The information from these assessments will determine the types of programs and scale of funding support that will be required to assist those affected by this crisis.
