BRAC Reaches 50,000 People in Pakistan with Food Relief and Assistance

As the number of people affected by the worst floods in Pakistan that the country has witnessed in decades continues to rise, BRAC has distributed food parcels and oral saline sachets to more than 8,000 affected families, benefiting almost 50,000 flood victims.

BRAC Pakistan has been operating in the country since 2007 and BRAC USA President and CEO Susan Davis says the organization's experience in Bangladesh, a country vulnerable to floods, has been invaluable to the efforts in Pakistan.

"Drawing upon years of experience in flood relief work in Bangladesh, a flood-prone country, BRAC Pakistan staff are rapidly and effectively assisting the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province,” she wrote.
