August 2010
The worst flooding for 80 years has devastated huge swathes of Pakistan, with latest estimates reporting that 14 million people have been affected. The official death toll is more than 1,300 and 300,000 houses have been damaged or destroyed.
Whole towns and villages have been destroyed, and farmland and crops have been wiped out. Waterborne diseases and food shortages remain serious concerns.
Christian Aid is working through ACT Alliance partners to help support 200,000 in nine of the most affected districts - providing food, essential household items, shelter, hygiene kits and medical care.
