Provide Contributions for Pakistani Flood Victims


The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has partnered with mGive again to allow mobile contributions for the flood victims in Pakistan. 

UNHCR emergency response teams are distributing tents, relief supplies, and humanitarian assistance to an estimated 200,000 people displaced by the recent flooding. 

Last week's torrential rain and the following flash floods have affected more than 1.5 million people in Northwestern Pakistan. Water-borne disease is a major concern at this time.

In Balochistan, UNHCR is delivering 4,000 tents, 2,700 plastic sheets, 2,200 kitchen sets, and 4,000 plastic mats to the hardest hit areas. So far, in Kyber Pakhtunkhwa, UNHCR is also distributing 3,000 tens in Nowshera District
