Latest Update: Flood in Pakistan

Latest Government estimates put the number of people affected by the floods at almost 14.5 million (National and Provincial Disaster Management Authorities, 13 August). Assessments to establish the degree to which affected populations are in need of immediate humanitarian assistance continue. The official death toll has risen to 1,384, with 1,680 people reported as injured. Over 722,000 houses have been either damaged or destroyed.

The situation in Sindh Province in the South has deteriorated, with both the first and second waves of floods along the Indus River now moving through parts of the province. Latest Government estimates indicate that 1.5 million people have been affected. This number is expected to rise further. Large parts of Upper Sindh are underwater. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned of xceptionally high flood levels on the Indus at Guddu and Sukkur, threatening renewed inundation in Khairpur, Jacobabad, Ghotki, Sukker, Larkana, Nawabshah, Hyderabad and Naushahro Feroze districts, all of which have been badly affected by the first wave of flooding. 300,000 civilians were evacuated from Jacobabad on 13 August in anticipation of the arrival of the second flood wave. Meanwhile the first wave continues to cause flooding further downstream in Hyderabad and Thatta districts. Hundreds of thousands of people are believed to be on the move in Sindh alone. Staff in the field report that districts in the North of the Province that have been hosting affectees, do not have more capacity to absorb additional people.
