Week of Compassion continues to respond to the Pakistan Floods

Picture
Since June, a torrential monsoon season has devastated Pakistan, bringing the worst flooding in modern history, and leaving almost incomprehensible damage across most of the country:
  • 33 million people flood-affected
  • 6.4 million in need of humanitarian assistance
  • 1.8 million houses damaged or destroyed
  • 750,000 livestock killed
  • 1500 estimated flood-related deaths, and 13,000 injured
  • 4000 miles of roads and nearly 300 bridges destroyed
  • 17,500 schools completely or partially damaged

Week of Compassion is responding through local ecumenical partners and will continue to do so for the long-term. With such massive impact and devastation, an expansive and evolving response will be needed for years to come. The data only show one snapshot of the circumstance; the true impact on homes, livelihoods, and emotions is seen in the people themselves.
