Summary:

After three months of activities and based on detailed assessments conducted by PRCS, transitional planning assistance team (TPAT), partner national societies and others, continuing immediate relief needs as well as substantial recovery requirements persist. This Revised Emergency Appeal includes multilateral programmes to be delivered by the Pakistan Red Crescent Society with IFRC support through funding received from many donors and Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies. The total budget of this Revised Emergency Appeal reflects the resources required to implement these programmes, however is not a representation of the commitment of the IFRC to provide all budgeted resources if the income received does not meet the costs required to run the planned programmes. The IFRC commits to support activities up to the income it will receive in response to this Revised Emergency Appeal.

Due to the scale of the needs, the scale of activities foreseen and the time required for service delivery in this complex environment, this appeal establishes a duration of 24 months. Activities will, therefore, be completed by 2 August 2012. A final report will be made available by 2 November 2012 (three months after the end of the operation).
