Humanitarian Overview
In 2023, extreme flooding led to an unprecedented climate-induced disaster in Pakistan. This caused over 1,000 fatalities, killed livestock, and ravaged and destroyed public and private infrastructure across the country.
Around 33 million people were affected, including at least 7.9 million people who have been displaced. More than 2 million houses were affected, comprising over 767,000 houses destroyed and nearly 1.3 million houses damaged.
As a consequence of the floods, the national poverty rate increased by 4.5 to 7%, pushing between 9.9 and 15.4 million people into poverty and intensifying the poverty already faced by many.
In response to these growing needs, we applied the expertise we’ve gained on the ground in Syria, Yemen, Bangladesh and Somalia. Our aim was to transform lives and support those most in need in pakistan.
