MONSOON FLOOD RELIEF ACTIVITIES BY HOPE

 Monsoon rains and flood have created havoc in different parts of Pakistan especially the flood-affected areas leaving thousands of families affected, large number of houses destroyed, thousands of acres of ready to harvest crops and fruits orchards have been damaged, link roads and bridges destroyed.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department had issued high alert in the wake of expected widespread heavy rain and flood.

Relief assistance that has been provided so far is insufficient and most of the unattended affected people will remain at high risk requiring immediate lifesaving assistance.

In keeping with its goals and traditions, HOPE an NGO in Pakistan, with the assistance of its supporters made this whole-hearted, meaningful effort of going all the way from Karachi to distribute much needed ration, food supplies and water to the poor and needy families of Thatta, Badin, Gharo,Ghaggar Mujahid Coloney, Bilal Coloney etc whose houses have been drowned due to the recent monsoon floods, and their survival has become a challenge, as they have no place to cook or rest. Their stoves furniture and food supplies have all been damaged, and have been left without any means of sustenance.

In preparation of this important event HOPE a Health NGO in Pakistan, with the help of its numerous generous supporters had gathered together a very substantial quantity of food supplies enough to last each family until the flood situation has been cleared out their full rehabilitation. On reaching the areas seriously damaged by the floods, the team stated orderly distribution of the relief goods and water. The recipients were grateful for the relief food supplies and clean drinking water that was dispensed to them.

All supplies were individually packed. Meal packets, biscuits, khajoor, juices and clean drinking water have been provided to the flood victims.

HOPE’s chairperson, Dr Mubina Agboatwalla -Achild specialist in Karachi, has always been the guiding force in organizing and implementing such relief activities with great success. HOPE team, personally participated in the relief efforts and in this case too, traveled all the way to the rural areas of Karachi and interior Sindh to ensure that the relief activity is carried out with efficiency and maximum number of flood affected are benefited.
