Operation USA is working to send urgently needed aid to Pakistan. Through existing partnerships developed following the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, Operation USA will be able to access remote areas that may be overlooked by larger aid efforts. Through this well-developed network, Operation USA is working to provide critical medical aid, water purification tablets and shelter relief to those made most vulnerable by the devastation, with an emphasis on the needs of women and children. Operation USA will additionally focus long-term recovery efforts on rebuilding the already tenuous education capacity for girls.
