Floods: List of trusted NGOs where you can donate. Heavy rain pounded much of Pakistan Friday after the government declared an emergency to deal with monsoon flooding it said had affected more than 30 million people.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said Friday that more than 900 people had been killed this year — including 34 in the last 24 hours — as a result of the monsoon rains that began in June.
Officials say this year’s floods are comparable to 2010 — the worst on record — when over 2,000 people died and nearly a fifth of the country was under water.
However, the federal and provincial governments have been seeking assistance from the people of Pakistan and international donors to expedite the relief operation.
