Summary:
Heavy rainfall in the first week of September triggered flash flooding in the Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK), Gilgit Baltistan (GB), and Punjab regions of Pakistan. This resulted in loss of life, inundation of a large area of land, damage to property and infrastructure, and agriculture and livestock losses.
Government authorities at Federal, Provincial and State levels led the response, with local nongovernment organisations providing support to meet the immediate needs of the flood-affected population through targeted distributions of cash and relief items.
In response to the disaster situation, the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS), with IFRC support, provided health and care, shelter and settlements and food security, nutrition and livelihoods assistance to flood-affected communities. The operation focused on relief and did not move into the recovery phase, as other organizations are contributing to these efforts.
