Country-wide torrential rains caused unprecedented and outrageous floods throughout Pakistan 21st July 2010 . Initially it played havoc in eastern parts of Baluchistan which includes: Barkhan, Kohlu, Sibi, Jafferabad and Naseerabad districts. The relief operations in the affected areas of Baluchistan were not over yet, when floods struck district Rajanpur, Layya and Gujranwala Punjab . Subsequently, the torrential rains and tides of floods turned towards Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Azad Jammu & Kashmir and engulfed various small and large towns in these areas. The most affected areas in KPK are: Kohistan, Dir lower, Dir Upper, Shangla, Swat, Minghora, Mansehra, Charsadda, Nowshera towns and some of the union councils in district Mardan, where routine life has come to a complete halt and affected communities in most parts of KPK are still waiting for rescue and relief.
Million of people affected by flood in KPK and thousand of people are died due to flood. All of their food item, NFI and most of the houses washed away with flood. The government authorities and armed forces, supported by the humanitarian organizations and NGOs, have started a major rescue effort to reach out to stranded communities that have been cut off by raging torrents of water.
The severity of the flooding has caused enormous damage to the country’s infrastructure in both rural and urban areas. Entire settlements of mud-brick houses are reported to have been swept away, major bridges have collapsed, and some major provincial cities have been totally cut off after road and rail links were severed. The widespread disruption to the country’s communications network meant that reaching the worst-hit areas of the country has become extremely difficult.
