Last week, Pakistan was rocked by a great disaster. The whole world mobilized for the disaster, in which more than 1000 people lost their lives, many injured and hundreds of buildings became unusable, and tried to deliver aid in order to be a balm for those affected by the flood disaster in Pakistan.

The monsoon rains, which are effective in the region, continue to threaten life in the region and hinder food and other basic needs. These monsoons and the recent flooding event affected more people than ever before. According to the figures stated, the number of people affected has exceeded thirty million.

The International Human Care and Relief Organization teams arrived in the region, determined the needs of the citizens affected by the flood and started to deliver humanitarian aid by hand.

In this context, we distributed our food packs to those in need in the first place. With approximately two hundred food parcels distributed, those in need have reached basic nutrients. These distribution took place in the Rajanpur, Punjab area.

Afterwards, we distributed tents for Pakistanis who were displaced from their homes. The needy people who lost their homes or could not use them for a certain period of time benefited from the tents we distributed about fifty.

Finally, we delivered hot meals and clean water. Those in need who took shelter in madrasahs, mosques and schools were able to fill their bellies with our hot meal distributions, since they had limited access to food.

While our work in Pakistan continues rapidly, we continue to work on new projects. In addition to various aids in Pakistan, which we focused on with the flood disaster in the past months, we distributed hot meals to 1,300 children. Let alone meat, these children hardly have access to a normal meal they can eat in daily life. 

Pakistan has the second-largest economy in South Asia, but its growth has been constrained by inequality, poverty, conflict, and insufficient access to fundamental social services. Due to the nation’s susceptibility to frequent climate shocks like floods and droughts, millions of people are at risk of becoming hungry and are in need of humanitarian aid. Millions of Afghan refugees have also taken refuge in Pakistan. 

According to the 2022 Global Hunger Index, Pakistan ranks ninety-ninth out of one hundred and twenty-one countries. In a country of two hundred and seven million people, about twenty percent of the population is malnourished. Forty-four percent of children younger than five years of age experience developmental delay. Malnutrition is caused by the economic problems in the region. 

Keep supporting us. Together, let’s deliver food to many more needy people. We have the power to fight hunger. Let’s share our food with our brothers. 

Another solar-powered deep well in Pakistan has been completed!

Pakistan has been facing water scarcity for many years. More than 80% of Pakistanis, according to a survey released this year by the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE), experience “severe water scarcity” for at least one month each year. According to the report, Pakistan is ranked 14th out of the top 17 nations with “very high water-risk” status.

This well will provide clean water to hundreds of families in this village. Our UK representative Farhan Shah was in this village a few months ago and witnessed first-hand how families would travel far distances to source water. This has brought immense ease and joy to their lives.

We continue to dig water wells in many countries. For ongoing sadaqa projects, you can always get in touch with us.
