Northern Pakistan has been affected by the worst floods in living memory – according to the UN over 3 million people have been affected.

Oxfam is there
In the Punjab, we have been helping evacuate people affected by the floods to camps where we are carrying out hygiene promotion and distributing health and hygiene kits. We are also repairing hand pumps and toilets in the camps.

In Sindh, we have been working with the Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum to help evacuate people from Kashmore, Qamber Shahdad Kot and Jamshoro districts. In Daddu district we’ve installed eight ‘de-watering’ machines with our local partner SAFCWO to clean out contaminated wells.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa we are carrying out water tankering and repairing damaged water supplies. We are also providing families with water purification tablets and carrying out assessments on impact of the floods on people’s livelihoods.
