"The flood waters are fast and lethal. They do not discriminate. They are sweeping away anything in their path including people, homes, and livelihoods."  - ShelterBox Regional Director for Asia, Harron Altaf

This is the worst flooding in Pakistan since 2010 when ShelterBox responded. Rainfall nationwide has been 2.87 times higher than the national 30-year average. Some provinces have receiving more than five times as much rainfall. The continued rain itself is making access into flood affected areas incredibly difficult. 1.5 million tents have been requested by the Pakistani government. Access to remote areas is already difficult as communication lines are down and 150 bridges have been destroyed. In 2010, ShelterBox supported 40,000 people in Pakistan after the worst flooding the country had seen in 80 years. ShelterBox has responded to crisis in Pakistan two other times, in 2008 and 2013, following major earthquakes. Climate change is increasing the risk of floods globally, putting millions of people at risk and making coastal and low-lying areas more vulnerable.
