Relief activities for flood victims of Pakistan 2010
AMWT started its rescue activities from the first day when the devastating floods struck Pakistan in July 2010. Our rescue activities helped evacuate 6000 people from different areas to safe locations away from the floods. Furthermore, AMWT helped set up 55 relief camps in different areas including Charsada, Nowshera, Muzafarabad, Rowhanwali, Lahore, Jafarabad, Sindh, Sibi, Shakarpur and many other locations, where free shelter, food, medicine and safe drinking water was provided to flood victims. Relief camps were set up in partnership with the Red Cross of Pakistan, Persian and Turkish NGOs.
AMWT Delivered:
- 55 relief Camps in different cities were established
- 20,000 flood victims were accommodated
- 150,000 First Aid and Hygiene Kits were distributed
- Free food packages were provided for two months
- Special care centres setup for children and elderly people
Global disasters will never cease to stop and when they strike we have to act quick and send emergency aid in the form of food, shelter and medical aid for the victims. Even after the disaster has surpassed, thousands of homeless and injured still need long term support. The victims of Pakistans 2010 Floods are still living in make-shift camps and because their homes and livelihoods have been completely destoyed it will take years to rebuild their lives. Al-Mustafa Welfare Trust needs disaster and emergency funds not only in preparation for the next global disaster but also to continuously support victims of previous calamaties such as in Pakistan. Please donate so we can provide long-term relief as well as stock up on tents, food, blankets and medical supplies.
