16. A local mill (Thal Jute Mills) had collected funds and goods to help the refugees
17. We came across camps made by NGO’s randomly but none unfortunately by the government
18. This Camp is run by International Relief and Development
24. All roads to Muzaffargarh ( located between River Indus and River Chenab ) were inaccessible – water had destroyed them all We started from Multan to go to Muzaffargarh, crossed an overflowing Chenab river and could only go to the triangle – Muzaffargarh was not reachable.
25. We landed in Multan and then drove towards Muzaffargarh but could only go as far as the little triangle. See how Muzaffargarh is surrounded by two rivers Chenab and Indus
29. Road to Muzaffargarh is flooded and inaccessible You can see a goods truck and a van ( white in enlargement ) stuck and half immersed in flood water

34. Looked for an alternate road to Muzaffargarh – and found that the entire road has been swept away And notice how the fields around this areas have been destroyed
39. See Damage done to the standing crop which was within weeks of being picked and sold in the market Billions of dollars of losses. This was the poor farmers bank balance and today he stands with no saving, no home and no future without your help.
44. Saving their livestock – ingenious way of transportation (can you locate 2 goats and one lamb)
45. On the Highway back to Multan we saw refugees in makeshift shelters for miles with no food, water or sanitation

48. In Multan Ariel had set up a clothes washing camp within a refugee camp in a local school which had nearly 1800 refugees. I could touch and feel the P&G spirit of touching and improving lives as I watched the refugees come with their dirty, sweaty cloths and get some respect and help

52. www.hope-ngo.com We have just completed phase one of our relief operation in the worst affected areas of Sukkur, Muzzafargarh and Peshawar, where we conducted medical camps and provided medicine free of cost for about 2300 men, women and children. We also distributed essential food items, shelter and bedding for close to 700 families, which will last them for 45 days. Simultaneously we are conducting safe drinking water campaigns where HOPE teams demonstrate and provide PuR water purifying sachets, plus utensils to promote clean water for families. HOPE's ongoing PuR campaign aims to reach 40,000 families in the next two weeks. The displaced population is currently living in makeshift camps and government buildings, while some are still stranded in flooded areas. The evacuees are in dire need of food, shelter, medical care and safe drinking water. HOPE is: 1. Distributing essential food supply and personal hygiene packages to families 2. Providing shelter, bedding and cooking utensils 3. Setting up medical camps and providing medicines free of cost 4. Conducting a safe drinking water campaign The total estimated cost per relief package is Rs27,940, which includes pulse, flour, sugar, rice, tea, cooking oil, bedding, and medicine (please see attached document). For more details on HOPE’s operation, please review its project proposal (also attached). Looking forward to your response.
