Pakistan Flood Response 2011
Last year’s floods in Pakistan devastated the lives of many milllions. Doctors Worldwide were on the ground in Sind and the Northern areas affected by flood waters. We helped thousands with emergency medical and food aid. However, instead of deciding to come back, we stayed to work on long term health development projects. We are currently based in Upper Sind and as a result of the recent monsoons, lower Sind areas are currently under water.
DWW sent a senior medical team on Saturday 19th September from the UK. Along with our existing Sind medical staff we are moving into the Thatta and Badin districts to help provide urgent medical relief. Badin is the worst affected area. Our focus is phased, starting with the distribution of antimalarials, medicines and food. Where we are able, our second phase is to set up medical treatment facilities and fund doctors to support the displaced population until the recovery and rehabilitation can begin.
Please support us financially to be able to purchase medicines, antimalarials and food.
