Responding to Unprecedented Disaster of Century.

ORR Pakistan team is busy to response the flood catastrophe in the affected area.
We have cleared the road from landslides in our working area and become successful to provide road access to more than 150 villages of the area.
We have observed the impact of this activity in term of transportation of food supply in the area and making the food prices down. People able to transfer the sick people to hospital in the city area for needed medical help.

We have also made an assessment in Village Dobar, District Khohistan . This village has been badly effected by the flooded river and almost all houses has been swept away. More than 40 people died in this village and made the remaining to live under open sky.

We are working on our plan of action to help the survival of village Dubar. This is the story of only one village and there are hundreds of other villages, towns and cites that have been divested and affecting more then 20 million people.

So numbers of people suffering this massive flood are more than the combined total of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

According to latest information more than 1.2 million home have been demolished and crops over hundreds of thousands of acres have destroyed. Live stock and food storages have been washed away. The magnitude of the tragedy is so immense that it is hard to assess.

Lot of help is needed to build the life of these suffering people and give them hope.
We request you to donate generously to Omaha Rapid Response for Pakistan flood relief.

  1. The continued flooding in Pakistan causes us great grief in our hearts. We cannot even imagine the extent of the damage to your nation. We were saddened to hear that you were sick, Waheed, and hope you and your children are doing MUCH better now. We pray for all of you often and hope that relief supplies and inoculations against disease soon reach all those who are suffering. May the Lord be with you and keep you and your family healthy, safe, and strong. We carry you in our hearts and in our prayers. May hearts not be hardened by the ongoing disasters (Haiti and Pakistan) and be released to give financially.

    Blessings and love, Gary & Maralyn

  2. Honored Friend,

    Thank-you for all you do for ORR. I have not kept up to date on your village. How much damage was done there? I trust Fareed and your father and family are well. I too pray for you all for safety and restoration of roads and homes.
