Ramzan

Pakistan floods 2010.

Ramzan, resident of Village Haji Abdul Rehman, photographed walking along the flooded road to Jhanghara village.

 

"They told us that the water won't recede. They frightened us and said -Leave your homes and go to the mountain-".

 

"Our houses collapsed. We have nothing to buy food, and we don't know what to do".

 

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.
