Pakistan suffering the worst floods in decades. Internews is providing humanitarian news to nearly five million Pakistanis, emergency responders, and helping local stations get back on the air.
With communications systems crippled, Pakistanis need up-to-date, factual information about their situation: how to find help and how to eventually rebuild. Local journalists need support in reporting effectively on the crisis and its aftermath, and in reestablishing their own broadcasting and publishing capability.
Working with local radio stations in the hardest hit areas in Pakistan, Internews is helping journalists to continue reporting on the devastation and on the critical relief efforts now underway.
Equipment, infrastructure and support provided to local Pakistani media will improve their ability to inform their communities, ultimately providing Pakistanis with the information they need to participate in long-term relief and recovery.
