Pakistan floods 2010.

"I was sleeping. Then the flood came. We waited for two or three days. We had nothing left to eat or drink. And then we escaped. The boat picked us up. We didn't have to pay them, they took us free of charge".
In Late July 2010 heavy monsoon rains led to massive flooding across large parts of Pakistan, affecting up to 20 million people.
ActionAid responded to the disaster immediately, working with local partners and communities to provide food, temporary shelter and items such as blankets and cooking utensils. Our long term response (continuing until end 2012) focuses on supporting people to rebuild their lives and livelihoods, and to become less vulnerable to future disasters.
