PAKISTAN
The monsoon flash floods that hit Pakistan late July have effected 17 million people and destroyed more than 1,226,600 homes. It is the one of the biggest natural disasters in history. Currently there are 95 psychosocial support volunteers from the Pakistani Red Crescent Society that are on stand-by. The Danish Red Cross psychosocial support team have distributed food and non-food items to 750 families in Swat, while the Turkish Red Crescent has set up a camp in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province where it will also provide psychosocial support. Furthermore, psychosocial support will be an integrated part of the emergency health and care programme, and will also be included in other programmes in order to support the flood-affected people.
