Panjab Floods 2022
Summary
Heavy rainfalls tore through Pakistan, and the district of Sri Muktsar Sahib and regions of Fazilka in Panjab. Killing over 220 people and injuring 3,858, these floods were deemed the deadliest since 2010. Those who survived were left homeless and financially in peril as they watched flood waters sweep away houses, farmland and livestock.
How we have helped
Within first phase of relief, Khalsa Aid assisted the suffering population by providing water-retrieving machines on an urgent basis for almost 2 months. Fogging machines were utilised to rid of mosquito infestation.
In the second phase of relief, food security was of utmost concern. Ration kits were swiftly delivered, farming land dewatered and fertiliser was provided.
Areas of impact
Clean water
Targeting other relief needs for the affected population, Khalsa Aid endured defogging processes, and provided 3000 litres of filtered water per day alongside filtered drinking water for almost 2 months in two villages of the region.
Dewatering
400-500 acres of farming fields were waterlogged after a long week of heavy rainfall. Khalsa Aid provided 5 water retrieving machines and instantly deployed them. The project expanded day-by-day, with 11 requests filing in from neighbouring villages in the Sri Muktsar Sahib district.
