In Numbers
33 million people affected by floods and flash floods in 90 districts.
According to the revised UN Appeal 20.6 million people require humanitarian assistance of which
• 14.6m require emergency food assistance;
• 7 million children require nutrition services;
• 4 million children lack access to health services; and • 5.5 million people no longer have safe drinking water.
Highlights
• WFP has reached 3.3 million flood-affected people with 73,599 metric tons (mt) of relief food and nutrition assistance and over US$8.7 million in cash-based transfers. However, WFP faces a shortfall of US$108 million for its continued flood response. Closing this gap is critical to prevent further deterioration in the food security situation and an impending humanitarian crisis.
• The 2022 monsoon-induced flooding has further exacerbated the pre-floods wasting situation of children under 5. The latest estimates by UNICEF and analysis of screening data reveal that the previous 17.7 percent global acute malnutrition (GAM) rate has increased by three to fourfold in eastern parts of Balochistan Province and two to threefold in northern parts of Sindh Province.
