   Subject: Appeal for Flood Relief

   Peace Greetings from CDF.

   Community Development Foundation (CDF), based in District Shaheed Benazirabad (Nawabshah) is Non-Profit and Non-Government Organization (NGO) registered under the Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies Ordinance 1961 (XLVI of 1961) with Government of Pakistan. CDF is mandated through its charter to support sustainable development initiatives and bring improvement in the quality of life of the marginalized communities in their field areas through Human and Institutional Development. Presently, CDF is working in remote areas of District Benazirabad, Sindh, Pakistan.
   During the current flood situation, a heavy detriment has seen in all over the Pakistan. District Shaheed Benazirabad (Nawabshah) also having worst situation especially in nine (09) union councils of said area are completely ruined due to heavy rainfall and flood in Indus River. About 9,000 households have badly effected due to this disaster. They have lost their houses, food and other home equipment along with loss of standing crops which in turns will raise the burden of loan.
   Currently, CDF is working with District Government for emergency rescue operation and food supply but rising of these IDPs is upcoming challenge for CDF that is not possible without generous support. CDF seeks to explore areas of collaboration and support with the potential partners and philanthropists for the relief and rehabilitation of these effected communities as the situation in upcoming days would be more dreadful due to food shortage and outbreaks of disease.
   .
   Hoping positive and urgent response from you

   Thanks and regards

   Sincerely

   Floods in Pakistan – Situation report No 7 – 6 August 2010

   06 Aug 2010

   According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, over 4 million people have been affected by the flood. The latest National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) figures show that the number of deaths has reached 1 002. A total of 263 590 houses have been damaged.

   An emergency has been declared in Northern Sindh on 6 and 7 August, as huge amounts of water rush through Indus River , particularly between Ghotki and Kashmore districts. Over 350 000 people have been moved to safer places. On 6 August, torrential rains hampered evacuation efforts and the movement of relief supplies. According to the early warning flood telemetry system, more than 8 million cubic metres of water per second will pass through the province in the next 24 hours.

   In Punjab , the districts of Muzzafargarh, DG Khan, Layyah, Rajanpur and Rahim Yar Khan are the worst affected districts in the southern part of the province, while the districts of Mianwali and Khushab in the north-west are also badly affected. Water levels in the Indus in southern Punjab are receding but remain critically high. A total of 48 relief camps have been established in the districts of Bhakkar, Dera Ghazi Khan, Khusab and Mianwali.

   In Balochistan, people from Trehar and Tehdi were evacuated to Lehri town due to heavy rains. With the exception of Lehri town, the whole of Lehri Tehsil is badly affected.

   On 5August 2010, daily disease surveillance reports were received from 114 health facilities from eight flood-affected districts in KPK. The health facilities reported a total of 31 652 patient consultations through the DEWS. Acute diarrhoea (AD) accounted for 14% of patient visits in all age groups (4589 cases). Scabies accounted for 23% of consultations (7 301 cases). Acute respiratory tract infections (ARI) were the third most common cause of consultations (12% of visits, or 3845 cases). The table below reflects the daily number of cases reported from flood-affected districts in KPK.

   DEWS is functional in all flood affected districts in KPK, and acute diarrhoea trends are monitored on a weekly basis. On the onset of floods, acute diarrhoea accounted for between 11% and 13% of total patient visits at health facilities. This weekly trend is used as the baseline to monitor the diarrhoea situation in the flood-affected districts. The figure below shows the weekly trend of acute diarrhoea in 2009 and 2010 (until epidemiological week 29 which ended on 23 July).

   Both mobile medical teams and fixed health facilities have begun daily reporting on priority communicable diseases. The daily trend of acute diarrhoea in flood-affected districts fluctuates between 13% and 14% of total patient consultations, as shown in the graph below.

   Two alerts for acute watery diarrhoea outbreaks were reported (one from Civil Hospital Pachakalay, District Buner on 3 August and another from Chendangari village of Frontier Peshawar ). The total number of cases has reached 70 patients. To date, the area is inaccessible due to security issues. Executive District Officer – Health is responding to the alert. Punjab

   Daily disease surveillance has also been initiated in the flood-affected districts of Punjab . Of the total patient visits, 13% were cases of skin diseases and 8% were acute diarrhoea. A total of 28 dog and four snake bites were also reported.

   The environmental health situation in Nowshera and Charsadda in KPK is very poor, with pools of stagnant water and dead animals everywhere. The following issues were identified during the assessment:

   More than 20 000 families living in spontaneous, overcrowded IDP camps need to be relocated to properly planned and sited camps where proper support to meet their basic needs can be provided.
   Access to safe drinking water is the biggest health risk facing affected communities, since groundwater sources have been submerged and surface water has been contaminated by the floodwater.
   Most people have no choice but to use flood water for drinking purposes, as all the water supply systems and hand pumps are out of order.
   The stagnant water provides a breeding ground for flies and mosquitoes.
   There are very few functional latrines for the affected communities; most latrines are full and/or submerged. There are no pit latrines in IDP areas: most people are defecating in the flood water, and using the same water for drinking and bathing.
   The floods have swept away pots, pans, kitchen utensils, beds and bedding and other household items, leaving many people with without the basic necessities.
   The incidence of water-borne diseases and malaria is likely to increase as the floodwaters recede and stagnate.
   We so your Ngo will be send help for displaced peoples,

   Needs Amounts: 50,000 us dollar’s only for Punjab

   Thanks you

   This is a time when Pakistan should unite against such inefficiencies of the country. Just like we are are united against the militants we must question 1000 deaths also. It is important that now the aid is utilized in the interest of the citizens.
