"The water came at night. We left everything and ran to save our
lives," Shabbir Ahmed, a father of nine, told me. "It’s more than
two weeks now, we have nothing to eat, no shelter. Our kids are
asking when we will go home, and we don’t have an answer."
As I travel with helicopters delivering relief rations to
flooded villages, I hear the same story again and again. And my
heart fills with deep sorrow seeing the lives and livelihoods of
millions of people in ruin.
We’re using trucks, helicopters, and even mules to reach those
cut off from any other help. Already, we’ve been able to bring food
and hope to one million people.
But we’re facing a huge funding shortfall. If we don’t receive
more food and cash urgently, millions of people will face extreme
hunger.
For every $10 you give, you can feed 9 people – please make an
emergency donation today that will save more lives.

Widespread monsoon rains are playing havoc all over the country.
More than 15 million people have been devastated by what the
government says are the worst floods in Pakistan's history. And the
number of people in need continues to grow.
"At least someone came to give us food, giving us hope that we
can now survive for a few weeks," says Shabbir, who received
emergency food assistance from WFP.
You can ensure more families receive the food they desperately
need. We urgently need your support to reach the hardest-hit areas,
where there are hungry people who have not received any help so
far.
Your emergency donation today will immediately help save the
lives of hungry families. Please give right now.
We’re facing a huge challenge, with at least six million people
in need of food, and the future is unpredictable. More monsoon
rains and floods will worsen roads already badly damaged and
impassable.... I’ve seen bridge after bridge washed away. I still
wake up in the morning finding it hard to believe a catastrophe of
this scale has happened.
There is so much to do and so little time. Please help.
Thank you,
Amjad
