Ariel View When Landing at Multan on Aug 16th, 2010

Devastation as far as the eye can see, all the way to the horizon – water,

water and nothing but water

Drive to Muzafargarh to visit the HOPE camp of 6 doctors and 4

nurses

You will see fertile land on the way, but then nothing but destruction,

victims and water, water and more water

A local mill (Thal Jute Mills) had collected funds and goods to help the refugees

We came across camps made by NGO’s randomly but none

unfortunately by the government

This Camp is run by International Relief and Development

HOPE Team set up their Camp

All roads to Muzaffargarh (located between River Indus and River

Chenab) were inaccessible – water had destroyed them all

We started from Multan to go to Muzaffargarh, crossed an overflowing Chenab river and could only go to the

triangle – Muzaffargarh was not reachable.

We landed in Multan and then drove

towards Muzaffargarh but could only go as far as the little triangle.

See how Muzaffargarh is surrounded by

two rivers Chenab and

Indus

River Chenab on Aug 16th, 2010 overflowing it banks

River Chenab overflowing into neighboring fields and orchards

Road to Muzaffargarh is flooded and inaccessible

You can see a goods truck and a van (white in enlargement) stuck and half

immersed in flood water

Enlargement of yellow box in next slide

See vehicles stuck in deep water

Mr. Saad Amanullah Khan, CEO Gillette Pakistan,Mr. Qaisar Shareef, General Manager P&G Pakistan

Looked for an alternate road to Muzaffargarh – and found that the entire road has been swept away

And notice how the fields around this areas have been destroyed

Massive damage to the road to Muzaffargarh

Inspecting the broken road

Al Rajwani reviews the damage caused by the floods

See Damage done to the standing crop which was within weeks of

being picked and sold in the market

Billions of dollars of losses. This was the poor farmers bank balance and today he stands with no saving, no home and no future without your

help.

Standing crop of cotton and sugarcane rotting in flood waters

Victims (women, men and children) are all sitting and waiting for help

and relief goods to survive

Victims just sitting and standing

HELP US !!! We have lost everything we own

Saving their livestock – ingenious way of transportation (can you locate 2 goats and one lamb)

On the Highway back to Multan we saw refugees in makeshift shelters

for miles with no food, water or sanitation

In Multan Ariel had set up a clothes washing camp within a refugee

camp in a local school which had nearly 1800 refugees.

I could touch and feel the P&G spirit of touching and improving lives as I

watched the refugees come with their dirty, sweaty cloths and get

some respect and help

Unbelievable photo of floods and destruction.Thank you for all those who are helping these people

We have just completed phase one of our relief operation in the worst affected areas of Sukkur, Muzzafargarh and Peshawar, where we conducted medical camps and provided medicine free of cost for about 2300 men, women and children. We also distributed essential food items, shelter and bedding for close to 700 families, which will last them for 45 days. Simultaneously we are conducting safe drinking water campaigns where HOPE teams demonstrate and provide PuR water purifying sachets, plus utensils to promote clean water for families. HOPE's ongoing PuR campaign aims to reach 40,000 families in the next two weeks. The displaced population is currently living in makeshift camps and government buildings, while some are still stranded in flooded areas. The evacuees are in dire need of food, shelter, medical care and safe drinking water. HOPE is:1. Distributing essential food supply and personal hygiene packages to families2. Providing shelter, bedding and cooking utensils3. Setting up medical camps and providing medicines free of cost4. Conducting a safe drinking water campaign The total estimated cost per relief package is Rs27,940, which includes pulse, flour, sugar, rice, tea, cooking oil, bedding, and medicine (please see attached document).
