The extent and impacts of the recent floods in Pakistan are huge in every context. The floods have so far claimed more than 1600 lives and about 20 million people, one tenth of Pakistan population, are suffering and have become homeless. An area of over 160,000 square kilometers - around a fifth of Pakistans total land - is submerged.

The flood victims desperately need food, shelter, medicine, money and other help. The Pakistan governments response to the crisis has been reported as sluggish. The government lacks infrastructure, money and other resources and the efficacy of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has been marred by bureaucracy.
