"The [Pakistan] floods have been devastating for our villages and others as well. It seemed that the communities affected wouldn’t be able to recover but we are moving back to life. It rather seems like a miracle... if such clamities keep on hitting us then we need to think ahead of our times."

Ghulam Mustafa, who opened a shop with cash assistance from Oxfam through partner Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO), in Sindh, Pakistan.

The historic levels of flooding in Pakistan in 2022 saw homes, farms and infrastructure swept away.

Our partners responded through the disaster, working with communities to get people emergency shelter, clean water, food, healthcare, cash payments and livelihood support.

Pakistan experienced eight devastating rainfalls over the monsoon season in 2022. The whole country was hit by severe flash flooding with regions in the west areas of Balochistan and Sindh the worst affected.

Roads, homes, crops, and livestock were washed away. Millions of people were left without shelter and many have lost their lives.

Pakistan’s climate change minister, Sherry Rehman, called the floods “a catastrophe of epic scale”, and the government declared a national emergency.

Oxfam and partners across Pakistan worked closely with the people and communities affected by the flooding to provide life-saving assistance.

How we spend your money

For every £1 you donate to this emergency appeal, we will allocate 9p of your donation to cover general support and running costs. There is a small chance that we will raise more money than is needed for this appeal. If this happens, we'll spend any additional funds on other Oxfam projects – wherever the need is greatest.
