One year after massive floods submerged much of Pakistan, millions of flood survivors are still without permanent shelter and struggling to access food. The disaster exposed Pakistan's vulnerability to natural disasters and climate change.
In August 2010, massive and unprecedented flooding inundated Pakistan, submerging one-fifth of the country’s land mass. With 20 million people affected, the humanitarian crisis was larger than the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake combined.
One year later, Refugees International returned to Pakistan to determine the successes and failures of the recovery effort. Today, we released our report on our findings, Pakistan: Flood Survivors Still Struggling to Recover. To read a copy of our report, please visit our website.
