Dear friends and companions of Malteser International,
We are receiving alarming news from our colleagues and partners in Pakistan these days.
The South Asian country is facing one of the heaviest monsoon rains in about 30 years.
More than 33 million people in Pakistan are affected by floods - over 1,000 people have lost their lives. One million houses have already been destroyed or damaged. One in seven inhabitants of the South Asian country has been affected by the floods.
The situation in the flooded areas, like in Sindh province, is devastating. Heavy rains have started in June and now diseases such as cholera threaten to break out.
Together with our partner, we are going to send mobile medical teams to the most affected regions to prevent the spread of epidemics. We are also going to distribute tents, medicines and cash to 6,000 particularly vulnerable families in the districts of Sanghar and Mirpur Khas. We provide 100,000 Euros for first emergency relief measures.
But with your support, we can achieve even more.
The country's government has appealed for international assistance. Be part of the community. Help us to make this request happen in the best possible way.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Yours sincerely,
|
