In Pakistan's worst hit areas, such as Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa, the Swat Valley and the districts of Shangla and Tank, aid agencies have reported that entire villages have been washed away by floodwaters and landslides. There is now urgent need for temporary shelters, clean drinking water and toilets, as well as medical care and basic food items.
To respond to the situation, RedR in Pakistan is now scheduling training and support for local and international aid workers so that they can help the affected population. Courses will focus on humanitarian practice in the water, sanitation and hygiene sector - now urgent given the reports of outbreaks of waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea and cholera.
More updates will follow as we continue to deliver this vital training.
