Monsoon rains have caused extensive flash flooding throughout Pakistan, killing more than a thousand people and causing widespread damage. Around 2.5 million people have been affected, and the rains are expected to worsen this week.
The Pakistan Red Crescent Society, which has branches and volunteers across the country, has been helping survivors since the flooding began by delivering food, health services, shelter and relief items (including hygiene kits and cooking equipment).
Pakistan Red Crescent volunteers are also supporting the Pakistani authorities in a major rescue effort to reach thousands of communities that have been completely cut off by the floods.
