Video: shelter and recovery in Pakistan
Nothing in living memory compares to the floods that hit Pakistan in the last days of July this year. Concern’s emergency team responded straight away, and this video shows some of ways we have helped so far.
The video features the voices of Concern staff members and people who have been affected by the disaster. It shows how Concern’s team are providing people with access to clean, safe water.
Saving lives
It shows our team providing instruction to the residents of temporary camps in basic hygiene. Simple work like this can save lives by helping to prevent the spread of disease.
Only the beginning
Though it is now almost two months since the disaster, Concern’s work in Pakistan has really only begun. Around eight million acres of farmland have been submerged, leaving countless people without a means of earning an income. The next phase of our work will be to help these people rebuild their livelihoods.

This video is the clear reflection of miseries that flood affected people are faced with. the challenge is more than our anticipation and demands collective responsibility of all the concerned stakeholders to come at fore and do their bit to help the affected people of Pakistan. I appreciate the efforts of Concern team and its partner organisations who have been actively involved in emergency relief work. In Pakistan we need more donor agencies like Concern to come at fore and help the disaster affected communities.
