Limo, Rab Dino Ghambir Village. Photographed as he was walking along the flooded road to his village, using some wood as a ballast.
"I'm a resident of Rab Dino Ghambir village. There was a breach in the protective wall of Manchhar Lake and the water started rising, and by night our village was full of water and people's homes were starting to collapse, and it was a real problem for us. We were frightened, the women and children were screaming, and we rushed to a safer place in the village. We had no time to leave the area. My family are still there, living with a neighbour".
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.
