Destruction is wide-spread across 40% of the country. As the rains continue, the waters are moving downstream like a “rolling earthquake” affecting Punjab and Sindh provinces further south. Transport and communications have been widely disrupted. Many areas remain inaccessible and thousands have yet to receive assistance. Latest estimates are that between 12 to 14.5 million are affected with the figures rising. The death toll has reached well over 1,600 and around 1.5 million people are made homeless. There are concerns about further deaths due to water-borne diseases as communities struggle to survive. The UN’s Emergency Response Coordinator, John Holmes, has observed that the overall humanitarian donor response to date is not commensurate to the massive level of need in this crisis. The members of the ACT Pakistan Forum, Church World Service- Pakistan/Afghanistan (CWS-P/A), Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), and Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH) are distributing urgent relief assistance to the flood-affected communities. This revision of the appeal first issued on August 4 th includes the proposed responses of DKH and NCA, as well as a revised, scaled-up version of the CWS- P/A response. The ACT Secretariat expects to receive a request for a further revision of this appeal from the ACT Forum to include early recovery and rehabilitation assistance by August 20 th . CWS P/A is working in Swat, Kohistan, D.I. Khan, Shangla and Mansehra districts of Khyber Pakhtoonkwa Province; Sibbi district of Balochistan Province; and Khairpur district of Sindh Province. As well as implementing directly, CWS is partnering with Participatory Village Development Programme, Help in Need (HIN), VEER Development Foundation and NCBP (Nation’s Capacity Building Programme). Proposed assistance includes food and non-food relief items, emergency shelter and basic health services. DKH is working with local partner National Rural Support Program (NRSP) to meet the shelter needs of 1,000 families (8,000 individuals) and hygiene needs of 8,000 of the most acutely affected and vulnerable families (64,000 individuals) in Nowshera and Charsadda districts of Khyber Paktunkwa Province. NCA proposes to assist 31,500 flood affected people in the districts Charssada, Nowshera and Sibi with food, non-food items and medical assistance during the acute emergency phase. NCA is working with local partners Pakistan Village Development Program (PVDP), the Taraqee Foundation (TF) and Church of Pakistan, Diocese of Peshawar (DoP).
