Assisting Flood-Affected Families

By Pakistan Relief Team (Originally in Urdu and English)

In September 2012, Pakistan was struck by monsoon floods that produced extensive food shortages and hunger and caused more than 400 people to lose their lives. According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the most severely hit region was Sindh Province, where 2.8 million residents were affected. 2012 was the third consecutive year in which Pakistan suffered devastating monsoonal flooding.

Deeply concerned about the welfare of the Pakistani people, Supreme Master Ching Hai quickly provided a US$15,000 fund to assist a team of Association members from Karachi and Islamabad in carrying out relief operations. After learning that the citizens of Sindh Province were still awaiting aid due to flood waters that had not yet receded, the team prepared 1,180 bags, each containing enough rice to sustain seven people for a week, and delivered the supplies to residents of Kashmore District from October 2 to 6. A total of 1,030 families received aid. May the Pakistani people soon recover from the aftermath of the floods and quickly rebuild their lives.
