September 16, 2010 - Pakistan is experiencing its worst monsoon flooding in at least 80 years. Government estimates put the number of people affected by the floods at 21 million. Millions of people have been displaced and over 1.8 million houses have been either damaged or destroyed. Assessments to establish the degree to which affected populations are in need of immediate humanitarian assistance continue. CIDA is supporting Focus Humanitarian Assistance to provide tarpaulins, water, hygiene kits and blankets to flood-affected communities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan, Sindh and Punjab provinces. In addition, medical teams provide basic healthcare services and helicopters transport relief supplies and medical teams to remote and inaccessible flood-affected communities. This project targets the most vulnerable groups, particularly women and children.
