Pakistan is currently suffering from the most devastating flooding of recent history. At least 1,600 are dead, over one fifth of the country is under water, and more than 6,000 villages and towns destroyed. As victims brace for more flooding, up to 20 million have been affected, with millions displaced. While the scale of the disaster has already surpassed that of the recent Haitian crisis and 2004 Southeast Asian Tsunami combined, support from the international community is falling desperately short where disease prevention, clean water, safe shelter, food, political security and governmental aid are in vital demand. Ve’ahavta and our partners the JDC are working quickly to develop a Jewish response to the crisis through a Pakistan Flood Relief Fund for direct supply of aid and donor-supported relief projects following the Jewish principle of Tikun Olam.
