Our Campaign Story
ends 31 Oct 2022, 11:59 PMRecord-breaking floods have hit Pakistan, affecting over 33 million people. Many have left their homes with little or no belongings, desperately seeking safety on higher ground. Families have lost their homes, livelihoods, and in some cases loved ones.
More than 1,150 people have been killed and at least 360 of these were children. The humanitarian situation is dire, and could get even worse as flood waters move to more low-lying areas. This could result in more people being forced out of their homes, more damage, and more pressure on the areas where people are seeking safety.

About Campaign
(Note: Donations to overseas efforts are non tax-deductible. Receipts will only be issued upon request.)
In response to the ravaging floods in Pakistan, the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) is launching a public appeal to raise funds for the relief and recovery operations in aid of the survivors.
Pakistan has experienced an unprecedented torrential monsoon rainfall, approximately ten times higher than usual, resulting in flash floods and landslides, across the country. The floods have affected approximately 30 million people.
SRC Secretary General/CEO Mr Benjamin William said, "The climate catastrophe in Pakistan has caused almost a thousand fatalities, including children; and displaced over 3.1 million. The increased risks of water-borne diseases, and the lack of clean water and proper shelter, would put a further strain on Pakistan's health system. We are extending humanitarian aid to support Pakistani communities to cope with the worsening weather events, and we hope everyone in Singapore will support our relief efforts."
In response to the ravaging floods in Pakistan, the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) had earlier committed SGD$50,000 to provide immediate relief aid in support of the affected communities. SRC's contributions will directly support the humanitarian response by Red Cross Red Crescent partners on the ground.
