Jaan Mohammad was rescued by a SHINE Humanity team. His family had to suddenly leave their village when torrential rains made their home uninhabitable, they were found sitting on a dry patch of land surrounded by ever rising flood waters.
Thousands of villagers in Sindh were displaced when unprecedented floods devastated huge areas of farmland. Some like Jaan Mohammad were marooned for days. Carrying just a few meagre possesions and without access to clean drinking water or food, they huddled together in the hope that someone would rescue them.
Due to its unique location SHINE Humanity has been able to mobilize emergency camps to provide medical aid and hot food to those in need. Our team of two doctors and a pharmacist along with a security officer and volunteers have traveled to flood affected areas in Sindh and to date they have set up 61 medical camps and provided immediate relief to 8500 displaced villagers. 97% of the patients treated at these camps are women and children.
Jaan Mohammad and his family were already poverty stricken and mal nourished. The impact of being displaced further aggravated their health conditions. They like many others treated by our Doctors had skin conditions as well as chest and stomach infections.
We are so thankful to our donors whose generosity have allowed SHINE Humanity to continue its mission of providing healthcare to underserved communities.
