Pakistan - Floods, update (ECHO 28 Nov 2022)
Pubdate:
11/28/2022 11:59:02 AM
According to National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), more than 33 million persons have been affected by the humanitarian emergency caused by the floods, about 1,739 people have died and almost 8 million people have been displaced. Widespread damage has been reported to critical infrastructure, houses and livestock.
The findings from a recent ECHO field staff’s visit to flood-affected areas in Sindh and Balochistan show that the situation remains dire with great extensions of land still covered by water.
At least 1.85 million people remain still displaced, living in roadside spontaneous camps in poor conditions. A serious concern remains that many of the people returning are moved to places with no infrastructure, no shelter and residing on elevated areas with flood waters around.
According to WHO reports, malnutrition continues increasing, particularly in Sukkur, Khairpur, Larkana and Thatta districts in Sindh province, where up to 2.26% of children screened have Severe Acute Malnutrition with complications.
The needs are very high and not enough humanitarian aid is being received. Particularly, winterization remains critical.
