Presbyterian Disaster Relief in Pakistan



With thousands still living in makeshift shelters, still trying to recover from previous disasters, food and shelter are the most urgent needs in flood-ravaged Pakistan. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) has been working quickly with our ecumenical partners on the ground to distribute essential aid to families and deliver critical relief to people affected by this crisis. Assistance includes food and non-food relief items, emergency shelter and basic health services. In cooperation with other ACT Alliance members on the ground, the emergency distribution of relief items including shelter items and food packages have reached 155,200 people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. ACT members and our long-term ecumenical partner in Pakistan Church World Service (CWS) are working to reach even more.
