In Pakistan’s flood-affected regions, relief camps are housing around 498,833 flood victims. Out of 166 districts, about 66 have been labelled as "calamity hit.” The need for critical products also keeps expanding as more people are affected by the flood.
The victims are still receiving aid from the Pakistan Army, national organisations, government organisations, and NGOs. Perishable food and other low-priority donations, on the other hand, may not make it to their destination and stay worthless.
The government needs more than Rs72 billion to provide relief and rehabilitation for flood victims. According to the initial tender evaluation report, providing financial assistance would cost over Rs7 billion, while providing non-food goods will cost close to Rs9 billion, and nearly Rs2 billion has to be spent on medical expenses.
