Raging floods have swept through northwest Pakistan, causing death and destruction on a disastrous scale. More than 1,600 people have been killed so far and some 12 million affected by the devastation. With monsoon rains continuing to fall, this figure is expected to rise as the worst floods to hit Pakistan in 80 years, threaten the southern Sindh province.
More than half a million people are being evacuated by the Pakistani authorities in anticipation of this, but with roads and bridges destroyed and many areas submerged, relief efforts have struggled to reach those in need.
Muslim Aid has launched an Emergency Appeal in order to provide medicines, clean water, tents and emergency items and are currently on the ground helping to distribute this much needed relief.
* 650 flood affected people treated in two days at medical camps in sub-districts of Rajarr, Utmanzai and Tangi of district Charsadda.
* 12,000 litres clean drinking water distributed among the 500 families of district Charsadda and Nowshera.
* 200,000 Aqua Tabs distributed in Rajarr and Utmanzai of Charsadda and 2 sub-districts of Nowshera Kalaan of district Nowshera.
* To date, 750 jerry cans (10 litres) and buckets (10 litres) have been distributed amongst 750 families.
* Juice and biscuits were distributed among 4,000 people over one weekend.
