Project Background From 7 to 10 September 2012, heavy rain inundated communities in northern Sindh, northeastern Balochistan and southern Punjab Provinces of Pakistan with more than 400mm of rain resulting in widespread flooding. Rains were heavier than normally experienced during the monsoon season, and communities received no advance warning. A number of canal breaches further exacerbated the situation and submerged many villages. It was estimated that the floods affected 939,000 people in Jacobabad District – equivalent to 89% of the total district population1. The flooding forced many families to seek refuge on roadsides, in neighboring villages or in spontaneous settlements. The same communities in northern Sindh were also affected by the catastrophic flooding of the 2010, and had not fully recovered before they were again hit by floods.

Project Background From 7 to 10 September 2012, heavy rain inundated communities in northern Sindh, northeastern Balochistan and southern Punjab Provinces of Pakistan with more than 400mm of rain resulting in widespread flooding. Rains were heavier than normally experienced during the monsoon season, and communities received no advance warning. A number of canal breaches further exacerbated the situation and submerged many villages. It was estimated that the floods affected 939,000 people in Jacobabad District – equivalent to 89% of the total district population1. The flooding forced many families to seek refuge on roadsides, in neighboring villages or in spontaneous settlements. The same communities in northern Sindh were also affected by the catastrophic flooding of the 2010, and had not fully recovered before they were again hit by floods.
