Appeal for Flood Vicitim

Heavy rains, flash floods and landslides have caused widespread devastation in Pakistan. More than 1400 people have lost their lives and a large number of people (2.5 million) have become homeless and displaced. The number is increasing by the day. Livestock, houses, bridges, link roads and communication infrastructure have been washed away by flood water. The level of water in the country’s major rivers has risen to a dangerous level threatening dams and embankments throughout the country. The devastation is still going on therefore WWF appeals to help the flood victims, as outbreak of water-borne diseases emerged and destitute survivors sought refuge from the terrified torrents.

WWF has launched an emergency appeal to help the flood victims in Pakistan. The funds will be used to provide much needed emergency assistance to people in the flood affected areas with food, medicines and Livestock.

The map shows the flood situation on 12 August, 2010, extending from Chashma Barrage to Guddu Barrage mostly lying in the Punjab province. The water extent was derived by computing Normalized Difference Water index (NDWI) from Green and Mid-Infrared spectral bands of Landsat (TM) Images acquired on 12 August, 2010.
