Pakistan floods 2010
Over the course of July and early August 2010, Pakistan experienced the worst monsoon-related floods in living memory. Heavy monsoon rains in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan regions of Pakistan affected the Indus River basin. Approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's total land area was underwater, that is around 796,095 square kilometers (307,374 sq mi). According to Pakistani government data, the floods directly affected about 20 million people, mostly by destruction of property, livelihood and infrastructure, with a death toll of close to 2,000.
World Vision in Pakistan (WVP), with funding from the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), implemented the Pakistan Flood Response (PFR) Programme for the affected population of three districts in Sindh Province. This programme was designed as an emergency response intervention in Sukkur and Khairpur districts running from 1st August, 2010 to 31st January, 2011. With its mid-programme report to the DEC (November 2010), WV introduced Qamber Shehdadkot as a third project district. The programme design provided for an end of programme final external evaluation. This report fulfils this requirement.
