The strong monsoon that hit Pakistan in July-August 2010 caused devastating floods, causing landslides, and floods of water that engulfed entire communities. Following this worst emergency for decades, 1 700 people lost their lives and 20 million have been forced to live in camps or in tents next to their destroyed homes, where temperatures below freezing have further complicated their conditions of life. Drinking water, health care, food and safe shelter, to name it, were part of serious daily challenges for those victims during this period.
In response to this unprecedented crisis, the HUMANITARIAN COALITION has raised 2.3 million dollars from its donors to lend a hand to Pakistan.
By distributing in the emergency drinking water, sanitation, food, emergency shelters, and basic health care, the efforts of our members have saved thousands of lives.
