Pakistan Flood Relief Statement

The cataclysmic floods caused by unprecedented torrential rain has turned multiple areas of Pakistan into emergency disaster zones.

The World Federation, through its relief arm, WF-AID, is working with all its members to jointly rise to this challenge. At this of hour of need for our Pakistani brethren, Africa Federation, CoEJ, FAC, India Federation, NASIMCO and Pakistan Federation are collaborating completely to deliver maximum assistance.

WF-Aid is working on multiple levels to deliver relief in the most optimal and confident manner:

• Closely liaising with Pakistan Federation and its Jamaats in Karachi, Badin and Hyderabad

• “Boots on the ground” (through the WF Pakistan Lead and his team’s coordination)

• Constant touch base with Hussaini Foundation, as well as multiple, credible agencies and charities on the ground who have in-depth knowledge. The WF Office Bearers and delegation are holding multiple meetings to optimise aid throughout the demand chain.

WF President Appeals to Global Community

Phase 1: Emergency Relief. This involves offering emergency need in the shape of food, water, medicine and shelter. This phase is still evolving as the situation is deteriorating by the minute and the underlying facts and figures are changing. We are updating the community with frequent communication as we receive new updates on the ground

Phase 2: Rehabilitation and re-settling. We have experience in these areas where we have been active in other disaster situations in the past (2006 earthquake as well as the 2010 flooding). As things evolve, sustainable measures will be focused on, and also communicated.

We will be providing the community with constant updates as we proceed with progress made in these unprecedented times.
