KEF Flood Relief - Situation Report (August 20, 2010)

KEF has reached the remotest and the neediest today, here is the situation report till today (20^th Aug., 2010). With the help of PA, Zakir Habib (KEF volunteer) took a plane load of 12 tons of mineral water to DG Khan where it was distributed with the support of the Pakistan Army.

This is the first relief flight to this most affected area. DG Khan is half way down in Pakistan and in southern Punjab. The water was first trucked from Lahore to Rawalpindi and then flown to DG Khan.

It was further distributed to the most devastated areas of tehsil Jampur (dist Rajanpur) and surrounding areas including Kot Mithan (5 km south of Jampur) and Kotla Mughlan (3 km south west of Jampur) union councils. (See attached pictures).

In addition dry rations packets for one hundred families were also distributed to stranded people in Kotla Mughlan and Jampur areas through helicopters.

Yesterday 6 tons of mineral water was also transported to Jacobabad through one C 130 and distributed amongst people who did not have access to drinking water in this scorching heat.

Same quantity of water and clothes were also transported by road to District Nowshera in KP (formally NWFP) and surroundings areas today.

With your assistance WE CAN DO IT! Thanks to KEF’s small dedicated team of volunteers.
