Deadly floods in Pakistan have killed over 1,700 people. The Pakistan Floods Appeal is now live

Last updated 6th December 2022
Around 33 million people in Pakistan - or 1 in 7 people in the country - have been impacted by the devastating floods that hit the country over the summer.

For context, that's the equivalent of almost half the population of the UK.

Families have lost their homes, livelihoods, and in some cases loved ones. You can donate to the Pakistan Floods Appeal now.

What has happened in Pakistan?

The record-breaking floods have killed over 1,700 people and 1.2 million livestock. Over 7.9 million people are now displaced.

The impact is unimaginable. Livelihoods have been destroyed after two months of continuous rainfall, and people are in need of shelter, food, clean water, and toilet facilities.

The water in some areas of the country has receded, but it's estimated that 25 per cent of the country is still under water.

What is the Red Cross doing to help people in Pakistan?

In one of its biggest relief operations ever, the Pakistan Red Crescent mobilised in July, and has since reached 580,000 people with emergency life-saving assistance. They are continuing to work closely with the wider movement, as well as national and local authorities.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement has been able to get vital support to those in need, focusing on urgent necessities such as food, water, and shelter.

So far, the Red Cross Red Crescent has delivered critical relief, including:

Over 21,300 tents distributed to over 149,000 people, providing temporary shelter for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods

Over 283,800 people have been given critical relief items, including 26,500 food parcels, 33,300 mosquito nets and over 34,700 hygiene kits

11 water treatment plants have been distributed, providing 187,000 litres of safe drinking water to 37,400 people each day

Over 73,000 people have been provided with critical health care through 13 medical health units, 17 medical sites, and continued first aid support.

With the increased risk of waterborne diseases, Red Cross teams are also on hand with free medicines and treatment for diseases like cholera and diarrhoea.

In the Sindh province alone, one of the hardest hit by the floods, over 134,000 cases of diarrhoea have been reported, and hundreds of people have been admitted to hospital with dengue.

What will my donation to the Pakistan Floods Appeal do?

Your gift will help teams reach people in the affected areas:

£20 could help to provide a hygiene kit to one family that includes things like toothbrushes, soap and toilet paper

£40 could help to provide ten families with a jerry can so that they can store clean water for drinking and cooking

£65 could help to provide one household with financial support so they can meet their basic needs like buying food and clean drinking water

£100 could help to provide a family of seven with a winterisation kit to protect them this winter

What are the impacts of climate change in Pakistan?

The fingerprints of climate change are present in these unprecedented floods.

Though areas of Pakistan expect rain in the summer months, the country saw continuous rainfall for two months.

In April, Pakistan also experienced a different extreme: record-breaking heat, with temperatures reaching over 40 degrees Celsius.

On one day, the country recorded one of the highest ever temperatures - 49 degrees Celsius.

Higher temperatures means glaciers melt faster in the Himalayas and Hindu Kush region, which feed the Indus river.

These temperatures have also made it harder for flood water to be absorbed into the baked hard ground.

The 2022 monsoon rainfall in Pakistan is nearly three times higher than the 30-year average and rains and consequent flash floods continued throughout July and August. It will take months for the water to subside.

Extreme weather events are happening more frequently all over the world, putting more and more people in danger. Read more about our work in climate change.

Pakistan floods 2022: the most affected areas

How is the Pakistan Floods Appeal helping people in Pakistan?

The Red Cross has been on the ground providing life-saving aid either directly, or through local partners. But they urgently need funds to reach more people.

The Pakistan Floods Appeal is helping to provide much-needed shelter, emergency cash aid, health and care including safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene support.

As we look to the future, there is also a real risk that more than 8.6 million people could face high levels of hunger. As well as 1.2 million livestock, large volumes of agricultural land were lost to the floods, meaning that food supplies in the country have dropped significantly. As a result, Pakistan is having to become increasingly reliant on imports, and food prices are rapidly increasing.

Appeal funds could also be used for longer term support to help people recover lost livelihoods and rebuild their lives.

While the situation is still desperate, thanks to our generous supporters, the Red Cross has been able to provide the immediate help people need - while also planning for the future. Your kindness has played a vital part in supporting communities and will continue to be crucial in the weeks and months ahead.

Pakistan Floods Appeal

Over 500 staff at the Pakistan Red Crescent are providing essential support, with help from a roster of over 3,000 volunteers. Your gift will help teams to reach people in the most affected areas.

Ask me where I'm going
Ask me what is my purpose

The Coat of Hopes is a patchwork pilgrim coat, made, worn and walked by hundreds of people over hundreds of miles from Newhaven on the south coast of England to the gates of COP 26, the UN climate summit, in Glasgow autumn 2021. The coat was made up of pieces of blanket into which were sewn or otherwise marked, the griefs, remembrances, prayers and hopes of people along its route and beyond.

The invitation to put on the coat, is to experience in its wearing the warmth (of the love it has been made with), empowering you to carry the weight of responsibility we all share. The responsibility to respond with our whole self to the climate and ecological emergency we face together.

1. Class discussion: students explore the Coat of Hopes as an introduction to a collaborative textile artwork engaged with climate justice.  15 mins.
2. Peer dialogue: students reflect upon their own cultural heritage and consider how climate change might affect the countries of the world that relate to these.  15 mins.
3. General research: students undertake guided research into selected countries to learn about how climate, weather, employment, farming, life at school etc have been affected. 30 mins.
4. Visual research: students are each required to capture one key word and one image which represents the knowledge they have discovered. 15 mins.
5. Drawing and design: students each plan their embroidery square by drawing onto paper. 45 mins.
6. Learning stitches: students learn 3 basic stitches using off cuts of fabric, before applying it to the main embroidery. 60 mins.
7. Application of stitches: students apply their learning of stitches to create a textile made up of 1 key image and 1 word, using stitching and felt. 60 mins.
8. Collaboration: as a group, students consider the best composition of all 30 pieces of embroidery to create their own class 'Coat of Protest' using an old woollen coat from a charity shop.  15 mins.  (Following the lesson, these are then attached to the coat by a teaching assistant working with members of Art Club.)
9. Presentation: students create a short presentation to their year group, with one student wearing the coat and others contributing information, ideas, hopes and feelings that are revealed in the individual embroidered panels.  This forms a collective, peaceful and awareness raising protest through the arts.
