The foundation Emergency Architects has launched an appeal to raise 200,000 euros in donations to help with the emergency situation in Pakistan.
Since the start of the monsoon season, Pakistan has been subjected to torrential rain which has triggered floods that have destroyed one by one every region in the north (Cachemire, Balistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) the Pendjab, Baloutchistan and Sind. The disaster is so widespread because the Indus, the river which has caused these floods crosses Pakistan from North to South.
On 6th August, the Pakistani government requested international aid.
Today, the death toll stands at 1600 and there are 20 million victims: men, women and children who are without food, water and shelter.
In order to answer the request for assistance by the Pakistani authorities, the foundation of Emergency Architects has mobilized a team which is ready to go and help the victims of the floods especially with emergency re-housing and damage assessment. To do this we need funds and therefore we seek your generosity to enable us to act quickly.
