Life for Relief and Development sends emergency flood aid to Pakistan helping families in need

SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to recent reports, the flood of Pakistan has devastated the whole country with over two million acres of land washed under water, leaving over 1,200 dead, washing away over 1,000,000 livestock and acres of agriculture.

This has been the worse flood that Pakistan has seen in over a decade, putting the country is in need now more than ever of humanitarian aid. Life for Relief and Development (LIFE) recently sent emergency aid to thousands of families in need in Pakistan, including food baskets, tents, hot meals and medications that are urgently needed.

“Pakistan unfortunately got hit hard with a flood, but as a humanitarian organization, it is our duty to put our foot forth in helping the many families in need during such a disaster. When disaster strikes, LIFE works quickly around the clock to provide emergency aid; afterall, where there is LIFE, there is hope,” said Dr. Hany Saqr, CEO of LIFE.

With much of the food supply washed away during the flood, the people of Pakistan are expected to face a serious food shortage. The current risk of water-borne illnesses is predicted to lead to more causalities, especially in children.

"There is now a high risk of water-borne, deadly diseases spreading rapidly — diarrhea, cholera, dengue, malaria," UNICEF Pakistan representative Abdullah Fadil told a Geneva press briefing.
According to UN agencies, the situation will only continue to deteriorate as winter is just eight weeks away in some parts of the country.
