Severe monsoon flooding in Pakistan has left thousands of people with nowhere to live. The disaster has affected more than 30 million people.

The sheer scale of the flooding is disastrous – people’s homes have sunk in flood water or been swept away. Livelihoods have been ruined, and more than 1,000 people have lost their lives.

ShelterBox is closely monitoring the situation and we are looking to deploy an emergency team to Pakistan.

Where is Pakistan?


Pakistan is located in South Asia. It borders with India, China, Afghanistan and Iran.

Pakistan has a varied climate and geography, with vast mountain ranges in the north, an area of desert in the west and the Indus River plain in the centre.

Communities in Pakistan have suffered from severe flooding many times in the past. Most notably, the 2011 floods happened as people were still trying to recover from the 2010 monsoon floods that affected 18 million people.

ShelterBox response


We are focusing our attention on the most affected areas of Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and Balochistan.

ShelterBox has a huge amount of experience supporting communities affected by flooding. We have responded to flooding at least 75 times since 2000, providing emergency aid and support to tens of thousands of families around the globe.

In fact, our largest response to flooding was in Pakistan in 2010, so we have experience working in-country.
