Operational Summary:
CARE is supporting health teams, mobile clinics and the distribution of emergency supplies in the wake of flooding that has taken hundreds of lives in Pakistan and devastated wide swaths of the country. A convoy of eleven trucks has brought tents, shawls and other emergency supplies, providing shelter initially for around 1,800 people. Supplies also include mosquito nets, plastic floor mats, water purification tabs, hygiene kits and kitchen sets. As efforts continue, and based on initial assessment of the flood affected areas, CARE will provide nearly 100,000 individuals with relief efforts that will provide shelter and essential items, and assist with rebuilding.
