Daily Update of Torrential Rain and Flood situation across the country – August 12, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO) Daily Assessment Updates on Torrential Rain and Flood Situation in Pakistan August 12, 2010 Overview: Country-wide torrential rains caused unprecedented and outrageous floods throughout Pakistan. The current spate of torrential rains and flash floods started on 21st July 2010. Initially it played havoc in eastern parts of Baluchistan which includes: Barkhan, Kohlu, Sibi, Jafferabad and Naseerabad districts. The relief operations in the affected areas of Baluchistan were not over yet, when floods struck district Rajanpur, Layya and Gujranwala in Punjab. Subsequently, the tide turned towards Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) and engulfed various small and large towns in these areas. The most affected areas in KPK are: Shangla, Swat, Minghora, Mansehra, Charsadda, Noshehra towns, where routine life has come to a complete halt and affected communities in most parts of KPK are still waiting for rescue and relief. Initial reports reveals that around 4 million people have been affected by worst floods in the country and death toll have risen to 1600 people. It is feared that the number of death will soar further once the communication links are re-established. The government authorities, armed forces and humanitarian organizations, particularly NGOs, have started a major rescue effort to reach out to affected communities to provide them humanitarian assistance during their distress movements. In order to facilitate coordinated humanitarian response in the affected areas and enable humanitarian organizations to have substantial planning for their humanitarian activities, SPO, with the support of its partner organizations, initiated rapid assessments in the affected areas and share it with relevant stakeholders in the form of daily update.

Daily Update of Torrential Rain and Flood situation across the country – August 10, 2010 at 8:30 pm
Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO) Daily Assessment Updates on Torrential Rain and Flood Situation in Pakistan August 10th, 2010 Overview: Country-wide torrential rains caused unprecedented and outrageous floods throughout Pakistan. The current spate of torrential rains and flash floods started on 21st July 2010. Initially it played havoc in eastern parts of Baluchistan which includes: Barkhan, Kohlu, Sibi, Jafferabad and Naseerabad districts. The relief operations in the affected areas of Baluchistan were not over yet, when floods struck district Rajanpur, Layya and Gujranwala in Punjab. Subsequently, the tide turned towards Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) and engulfed various small and large towns in these areas. The most affected areas in KPK are: Shangla, Swat, Minghora, Mansehra, Charsadda, Noshehra towns, where routine life has come to a complete halt and affected communities in most parts of KPK are still waiting for rescue and relief. Initial reports reveals that around 4 million people have been affected by worst floods in the country and death toll have risen to 1600 people. It is feared that the number of death will soar further once the communication links are re-established. The government authorities, armed forces and humanitarian organizations, particularly NGOs, have started a major rescue effort to reach out to affected communities to provide them humanitarian assistance during their distress movements. In order to facilitate coordinated humanitarian response in the affected areas and enable humanitarian organizations to have substantial planning for their humanitarian activities, SPO, with the support of its partner organizations, initiated rapid assessments in the affected areas and share it with relevant stakeholders in the form of daily update.
