ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Every country and every nation faces natural or man-made
calamities but the response to the disaster is not always the same.
Pakistani nation is a responsible, devoted and determined nation
and we proved it in all previous calamities of 1972 flood, 2005 Earthquake or 2009 IDPs disaster. The current calamity in shape of flood
is so huge that according to UN the damages to human and
property is more than the combine losses of Tsunami and 2005
Earth Quake. The relief efforts currently exceed the combined
capacity of any one government, organization or people. This is the
responsibility of every Pakistani citizen and every Pakistani institute
or organization to contribute in relief activities to mitigate grieves
and sufferings of affected humans.
The emergency response for animal protection in flood affected
areas of Peshawar, Charsadda and Nowshehra was initiated as a
joint venture of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary
Sciences KP Agricultural University Peshawar (AUP) and Livestock
Trainers & Consultants (LTC) KP Peshawar.
The generous support of Professor Dr. Khan Bahadur Marwat, Vice
Chancellor AUP was instrumental in shaping the relief program. He
allowed two university vehicles and placed other resources on
disposal of the team for use in the flood relief campaign. Although
LTC Peshawar managed some funds but this was not adequate to
cope with the situation for buying large quantity of vaccines andveterinary medicines. This was compensated by a donation of Rs.
50,000 received from Livelihood Project, Intercooperation (IC)
Pakistan on the request of Dean FAHVS. The money also enabled
us to buy some feed for the suffering animals. Help of Mr. Shabir
Hussain Project Director (LP) in facilitating the donation is
appreciated. Professor Dr. Subhan Qureshi and Dr. Younas
Mohammad provided valuable inputs in planning the activity.
The difficult task of providing emergency relief to suffering animals
was made possible with the group of 37 young volunteer students
of final yeay DVM who worked daily from morning to late evening
even when it was raining and reached to the farm animals
surrounded by flood water under the determined untiring leadership
of Dr. Shoaib Sultan Afridi AUP and Dr. Zakir Hussain LTC. The
motivation and strong will of the group in providing relief to the
people stranded in floods is visible from the facts that they provided
milk packs, juices to infants and human medicines to cover human
ailing from their own pockets along with veterinary health coverage
for their animals. They used even boats for their access to the
stranded people and their animals. These young professionals
deserve recognition for their zeal and incredible job.
The financial contribution of individuals for the job is alsoappreciated. Dr. Irfan donated 50 vaccine bottles (3000 doses)
besides his personal involvement and spared his vehicle when
needed. Members of LTC team especially Dr. Nazir Ahmad, Dr.
Seed Ullah Khan and Mr. Niyazud Din who contributed donations
and got involved throughout the process.

BACK GROUND OF THE SITUATION
Nature is not free of calamities that can affect both human as wellanimals life. One of the recent calamities, the flood, which has hit
the whole country in general and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in particular.
Is one of the worst catastrophes experienced so far by the country
Its magnitude can be expressed as one full year of rainfall has
fallen over Pakistan in just a few days that has not happened in 80
years. This occurred all of a sudden and people were not ready to
face and tried to escape to a safe place leaving all their belonging
including animals behind on the mercy of flood water. In KP
Peshawar, Mowshehra, Charsada, Swat, Dir, Shangla and Kohat
were severely affected while Chitral, Kohistan, Mansehra, Mardan,
Bannu and DI Khan were moderately flooded. In these areas
livelihood of people primarily depend on livestock keeping.
Livestock is an invaluable asset for rural families in term of milk,
meat, draught power and as a households lifes saving. While detail
survey for assessment of losses in flood hit areas will commence
soon, present estimates show that losses to livestock caused by the
current flood in 12 out of 15 districts of KPK have been put to Rs.
8.6 billion. About 132335 livestock heads perished in the flood while
420138 farm animals were affected in total in the province.
Among those animals who survived are threatened by non-availability of feed and shelter. Like other agricultural crops, fodder
fields have been completely destroyed. Stocks of wheat straw, hay
and feed have been washed away. These hungry and shelter less
stressed animals due to low resistance are at high risk for
contagious diseases. Outbreaks of fatal diseases such as
Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS), Black Quarter (BQ) and other would
soon appear and will further increase death toll of livestock.
As an immediate emergency response to the above situation,
prophylactic vaccination, treatment of sick animals and provision of
feed and shelter to the survived animals is required. The livestock
departments are doing their best to this purpose. But the
catastrophe is so severe and wide spread that it has exceeded the
combined capacity of any government, organization and people.
The situation therefore appeals for individual efforts to join hands
and help reduce the human and animal sufferings. It was with this
spirit that a group of final year DVM students of Animal Health
Department of AUP determined to reach the survived livestock
stranded in the flood in Peshawar, Nowshehra and Charsada
districts. The idea was discussed with the Vice Chancellor who
placed all possible resources at their disposal to facilitate their
mobility and action plan. In the meanwhile LTC Peshawar having
similar motivation for using their resources to this purposeapproached the Dean FAHVS, AUP for joining hands in the relief
campaign. Thus the team comprising students, faculty members
and professional staff of LTC was strong enough to respond to the
emergency help of suffering livestock in three districts. Financial
help by Intercooperation Pakistan, Peshawar office enabled the
team to buy vaccine, medicines and feed for the survived animals.
Although the emergency relief task performed by the students as a
team appear little to that needed for dealing with the catastrophe in
the whole flood hit area, yet it provide a feeling of satisfaction andgratification for contributing somewhat to reduce sufferings of
livestock that serve as a lifes saving and source of food and
livelihood for poor farmers.

short planning meeting for site to be visited was held. After loading
the emergency gear, the groups left for destination and worked from
morning to late evening. The encouraging part noted was that the
zeal, dedication and enthusiasm of students and their team leaders
never dropped rather continuously raised with high spirit to work
