Operational Summary:
CRS is organizing shipments of humanitarian aid to KPK (Swat, Shangla and Kohistan), Balochistan and Sindh. The aid packages include water purification tablets, soap, cookware, jerry cans, mosquito nets and more. CRS has existing programming in Swat, Shangla and Kohistan with fully staffed offices since the 2005 earthquake, which enabled us to immediately deploy teams to the most affected areas to distribute shelter and hygiene kits to over 2,500 households and to initiate work on repairing water systems and other community infrastructure projects using cash-for-work. In Sindh and Balochistan Provinces in the South, CRS has experienced partners with whom we are distributing aid.
