Situation overview While substantial areas in Sindh, in particular Dadu and Qamber Shahdkot, are still flooded, access to northern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) continues to improve; the flood is visible only in the destruction it has left behind. As the weeks go by, the ways in which the flood has affected the different areas of the country are becoming more apparent. Partners are designing and implementing activities that respond to these diverse needs and situations. According to OCHA, in KP and Punjab most internally displaced people (IDPs) have returned home.

  • Fabric of Belonging
    Fabric of Belonging Exotic Quilts from Pakistan and India June 27 through November 29, 2014 Most of the materials for this document were derived from either conversations with Patricia Stoddard or from her seminal publication: Ralli Quilts—Traditional Textiles from Pakistan and India, ISBN: 0-7643-1697-4. Dr. Stoddard lived in Pakistan for several years, during which time her husband served as military attaché to the American Embassy there. To this day, no one else has undertaken the enormous task of documenting and telling the story of the rallis of South Asia. Dr. Stoddard owns over 400 rallis and has exhibited them many times throughout the U.S. and abroad. She discovered her first one by accident at the bottom of a pile of textiles in a handicraft store in Pakistan, as she was searching for something to cover the walls of her residence there. She paid only $12.50 for this first ralli. The Ralli Region • Sindh is the heart of ralli production, located in the southeastern part of Pakistan along the Indus River. • The region is primarily rural and agricultural except for a few urban areas including the major city of Karachi. The lifestyle has been nomadic in this region since ancient times. While some people travel on land with their livestock, others live on rivers and lakes in flat-bottomed boats. These nomadic tribes often settle during certain times of the year to supplement their income as farmers, craftsmen, entertainers, or peddlers. • The hundreds of tribes in the region vary significantly with respect to tradition and occupation—farmers, herders, landlords, merchants, entertainers, craftsmen, etc.
