The WMO Pakistan Chapter Flood Relief campaign has reached Tent city on Larkana Road in Dadu

We are surrounded by a sea of green as makeshift shelters mushroom on several parcels of land across Balochistan and Sindh, housing hundreds of displaced flood victims.

The WMO Pakistan Chapter Flood Relief campaign has reached Tent city on Larkana Road in Dadu, Sindh where hundreds of families rescued by the armed forces have set up camp.

Food is scarce, so is clean drinking water. There are hardly any toilets and the occasional breeze carries the stench of human faeces, unwashed skin, stale food and death. There is an impending epidemic looming as the squalid conditions worsen due to lack of sanitation, as the rapid influx of flood victims refuses to cede.

Grocery packs and water coolers were distributed at the camp. Food will be served on a daily basis for the entire duration of the month.

The WMO Pakistan Chapter team are assessing the grim situation at the camps. Funds have been pouring in from across the globe and the organisation must ensure that they are utilised to make a tangible difference on the ground ; to alleviate the pain and ease the hardships endured by the victims of the monster monsoons that ravaged Pakistan in 2022.
