This flood water hit the different union councils of Rajan Pur. Hundreds of houses damaged fully and partially and inhabitants sitting under open sky. The displaced people have sought shelter in streets and other public buildings in and around their chaks (villages). Thus, there is an urgent need for non food items (NFIs) including mattresses, mosquito nets, Kitchen utensils, fuel for daily cooking and hygiene kits. Yearly food stock is almost completely washed away, while livestock has suffered considerable loss. Thus affected people facing critical condition and will suffer economically for at least one whole year as their current crop is damaged at large scale.

  • Flood 2019 Situation Report Rajanpur
    REPORT-I FLOOD 2019 SITUATION REPORT RAJANPUR Date : 21-08-2019 HELP Foundation is the member of NHN, Indus Consortium & DDMA Rajanpur Humanitarian Program Department HELP Foundation _____________________________________ Report By: Atta Street Ward No.4, Kot Mithan, Jamshaid Farid Soomro District Rajanpur, Punjab, Pakistan Cell # 0333-9446363 E-mail: [email protected] Ph & Fax # +92-0604-317806 HELP Foundation _Flood 2019 Situation Report-01 1- RATIONALE Rajanpur is the Southern-most district of Punjab Province. It has a total population of approx 1.9 million and is comprised of three Tehsils: Jampur, Rajanpur and Rojhan. In addition, a tribal area (“de-excluded area”) lies in the Suleman range. Being close to the river bed, the eastern part of the district (Katcha zone) is frequently hit by flooding from the Indus River due to heavy monsoon rains in July/August and snow melt in the Himalayas. This riverine flooding inundates a large part of the low lying areas along the river belt in all three Tehsils (sub-districts), namely Jampur, Rajanpur and Rojhan. The western part of the district (locally called Parched) is frequently affected by flash floods which develop in the Suleiman mountain ranges. Both these hazards bring heavy losses in the two areas that cover roughly about 80% of the area and about 60% of the population, damaging houses made of mud, land and crops, livestock and other property. The lands in the Western (Pachadh) area are relatively steep and this tends to facilitate flash- flooding from torrential rains in the Suleiman range in July/August (or in some cases February/ March).
