Pakistan floods 2010-11

Tearfund is working in Pakistan to help people whose lives have been blighted by two consecutive years of disastrous flooding.

Last summer, monsoon rains damaged homes, crops and livelihoods in Sindh and Balcohistan provinces, another blow to Pakistan which was still recovering from floods in July 2010 which left 1,700 dead and hit 18 million others.
