YWAM responds to flood disaster in Pakistan
The heaviest monsoon rains in 80 years continue to fall on northwest and central Pakistan. Rivers in the Sindh province are bursting their banks, affecting some 5 million people. More rain is forecast, and the region is still only midway through the monsoon season.
According to the BBC at least 1600 people have been killed in the past week and some two million left homeless. The Pakistan authorities have appealed for help from the international community. The most immediate needs are for shelter, food and medicines.
YWAM workers in Pakistan are in a position to help and are organising a rapid response relief effort to help the poorest, most marginalised groups affected by the flood.
