 Pakistan floods appeal The International Rescue Committee is on the ground providing aid to victims of the worst flooding in Pakistan's modern history. At least 1,400 people have been killed and 14 million people have been affected by the devastating monsoon rains. YOUR HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED Please donate to one of your choice chairty or one of those listing here Devastation in Pakistan. Children need immediate help. UNICEFPakistan is facing a growing humanitarian crisis as worsening floods are affecting even more people than the Boxing Day Tsunami and Haiti earthquake combined. Millions of children have lost their homes and have no food or clean water. More and more of these children are at risk of contracting deadly waterborne diseases like dysentery, diarrhoea and cholera. UNICEF is working on the ground to ensure that life-saving aid is getting through. This includes safe drinking water, medical supplies and vaccinations for children against measles and polio. Every day the situation for children becomes increasingly critical. UNICEF is desperately appealing for funds to help cover the escalating needs of children affected. Please donate now to UNICEF’s urgent emergency appeal to help save children in Pakistan. £30 could immunise 30 children against deadly measles. £50 could help provide 5 families with access to safe drinking water. Help children in Pakistan now. Donate to our emergency appeal today. UNICEF relies entirely on voluntary donations. We receive no funding from the United Nations (UN) budget or the Disasters Emergency Comittee (DEC). CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO UNICEF Around 14 million people have been affected and around 900,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed. The Pakistan Red Crescent Society, which has branches and volunteers across the country, has been helping survivors since the flooding began by delivering food, health services, shelter and relief items (including hygiene kits and cooking equipment). The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement has reached around 300,000 people since the floods hit and in the coming months plans to distribute relief items to around 2.1 million people. We urgently need your help to support the relief effort.
