THE 2010 MONSOON BEGINS
Late July 2010 marked a particularly tragic period in Pakistans history. In the north, three days of unstoppable
rain caused the Indus River to swell, creating a massive body of water that moved from the Himalayas,
southwards to the Arabian Sea. The effects on the countrys already impoverished population and infrastructure
were immediate and catastrophic. As the disaster unfolded it was to become more destructive than the Haiti
earthquake and the Japan tsunami combined.
Out of a population of 168 million, 20 million people were affected by the raging waters, losing their homes
and livelihoods, mainly across the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh. The oods also affected
people in Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Pakistan-Administered-Kashmir. More than 1700 people died, more
than 7 million were left homeless and at least 1.8 million homes were destroyed. Over 2.4 million hectares of
standing crops were submerged, and 450,000 heads of livestock lost, crippling the countr ys bread basket.
At the beginning of August the international humanitarian community, including the 40 members of the Pakistan
Humanitarian Forum began rolling out emergency programs across multiple sectors to meet the needs of 14
million in need of humanitarian assistance. The emergency relief plan included:
Food assistance
Shelter
Health
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)
Public health education
On and Off-farm Livelihoods and food security programs
,Cash-for-work and cash grants
Agriculture and Livestock restoration
Rehabilitation of schools and community infrastructures
Protection
At the end of January 2011, the main Relief Operation came to an end, with the exception of parts of ve
districts in Sindh and Balochistan, where relief activities were extended to mid April 2011.

SITUATION OVERVIEW
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) was the rst part of the country affected by the oods. Flash ooding in the mountains was
intense, concentrated and highly destructive. The death toll was far higher compared to the number of people affected
in either Sindh or Punjab. Many of the worst affected areas in KPK were already home to more than one million conict
displaced people. An estimated 3.8 million were affected, 1,156 died and 1,198 were injured. More than 285,000 homes
were damaged or destroyed. And more than 700 kilometers of roads, along with 140 bridges, were washed away. Themost severely affected districts in KPK were: Tank, D.I. Khan, Kohistan, Peshawar, Charsadda, Nowshera, Lower Dir, Upper
Dir, Shangla, and Swat.

A SECOND CHANCE IN CHARSADDA
A month after the ash oods forced this shop owner from his home, he returned to his village in KPK, and a
scene of devastation. In late July torrential rains caused the swollen Indus River to ood, swamping his village,
his home and his shop.
When we returned we only saw water, everything else was destroyed. We started crying and were too
stunned to speak. We didnt even recognize our own houses, he says. His shop was still standing, but the water
had damaged what was on the shelves, and even the bills left in his till.
As the cleanup began, the 21-year old was interviewed by a team from the IRC and offered a micro grant to
re-open his business. He says, I used the money to re-stock my shelves. If the NGO had not helped me with
the grant, I dont think I would have been able to open my store again. He says the IRC also helped him recover
through a cash for work program and vocational training in basic management.
As the one year anniversary of the oods approaches, the shop owner says his business is slowly recovering. He
thanks the IRC and other NGOs who provided aid, giving his village a second chance.
REMAINING CHALLENGES IN KPK
Repairing infrastructure roads and bridges
Restoration of basic services health and education
Transition from temporary to permanent shelter
Restoration of livelihoods especially in farming
Repair and improve ood defense systems

SITUATION OVERVIEW
Punjab, the breadbasket of Pakistan, experienced a combination of ash oods in the mountains and highly
destructive river ooding in agricultural areas. An estimated six million people were affected across eleven
districts. More than 500,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. And more than 1.85 million acres of arable
land was washed away. Even though most people have returned home, their needs are vast because of the scale
of destruction to homes, basic services and livelihoods. The geographical coverage of the humanitarian responsehas been uneven because of the shor tage of partners across the ood affected area. The most severely affected
districts were: Muzzafargarh, Rajanpur, Mianwali, R.I. Khan, Layyah, D.G. Khan, and Bhakkar.

People are still in great need of livestock and seeds and fertilizer to get their lives started
again. These are some of the most important needs to be addressed going forward.

SITUATION OVERVIEW
The direct impact of the oods has been the most protracted in Sindh. Close to half of the rural population was
affected, with millions evacuated or forced to ee. At the peak of the crisis vast swathes of the province were
left underwater, critical because the majority of the people rely on agriculture for their survival. More than seven
million people were affected and more than 875,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. More than 2.5 million
acres of arable land was submerged, resulting in a problem with nutrition, especially among the young. In March2011, more than 100,000 people were still in camps or settlements. The most severely affected districts were:
Kashmore, Shikarpur, Jacobabad, Larkana, Qambar-Shahdadkot, Thatta, Dadu, and Jamshoro.
