- According to National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), more than 33 million persons have been affected by the humanitarian emergency caused by the floods, about 1,739 people have died and almost 8 million people have been displaced. Widespread damage has been reported to critical infrastructure, houses and livestock.
- The findings from a recent ECHO field staff’s visit to flood-affected areas in Sindh and Balochistan show that the situation remains dire with great extensions of land still covered by water.
- At least 1.85 million people remain still displaced, living in roadside spontaneous camps in poor conditions. A serious concern remains that many of the people returning are moved to places with no infrastructure, no shelter and residing on elevated areas with flood waters around.
- According to WHO reports, malnutrition continues increasing, particularly in Sukkur, Khairpur, Larkana and Thatta districts in Sindh province, where up to 2.26% of children screened have Severe Acute Malnutrition with complications.
- The needs are very high and not enough humanitarian aid is being received. Particularly, winterization remains critical.
