Since June 26, 2025, Pakistan has been struck by one of the most severe flood disasters in recent memory. Across the country, relentless monsoon rains and flash floods have created a humanitarian crisis on a massive scale. According to official situation reports, the 2025 monsoon and flood emergency has resulted in over 900 deaths, with more than 1,000 people injured, and millions affected nationwide. Across multiple provinces, families have been displaced, homes destroyed, and basic services interrupted as floodwaters surged through communities.
Punjab province in particular has endured profound devastation. In Punjab alone, around 4.7 million people have been affected by floodwaters as rivers, including the Chenab, Sutlej, and Ravi, breached their banks, submerging thousands of villages and overwhelming local infrastructure. Thousands of homes, shops, and farms have been damaged or lost, forcing families to flee to relief camps or makeshift shelters without reliable access to food, clean water, or sanitation.
The flood impact stretches far beyond physical damage. Schools and health facilities have suffered destruction, leaving children out of education and communities without essential services. Water supply systems have been damaged, heightening the risk of waterborne diseases, particularly among children and vulnerable households.
In response to this dire situation, AWARD Pakistan has been on the ground delivering immediate relief in the most affected districts. To date, we have provided 15day food rations and dignity kits to 500 families in Jalalpur Pirwala (Multan), offered tents, bedding and essential food supplies to 150 displaced families in Chiniot, and distributed ration packs to 150 families in Jhang. To address urgent sanitation needs and protect community health, construction of 150 toilets is also underway in Khairpur District, Sindh, a region severely impacted in earlier flood seasons and still recovering.
While these efforts have helped families survive immediate hunger and dehydration, the needs far exceed the current capacity of relief operations. Thousands of households remain without safe shelter, clean water, functioning sanitation, and access to health services. With winter approaching, the risks of cold exposure, disease outbreaks, and prolonged displacement are rapidly increasing, placing children and women at particularly grave risk.
We humbly appeal to our supporters and donors: the situation on the ground remains urgent and lifethreatening. Your donation today will help provide lifesaving food, emergency shelter, sanitation facilities, and essential care to families who have lost everything. Every contribution, large or small, directly sustains survival and restores dignity for those hardest hit by this disaster. With your support, we can reach more families, protect vulnerable children, and help communities begin the long journey of recovery and resilience.
Together, we can make sure that no family affected by these catastrophic floods is left behind.
