Our City of lights is in danger, and we need to come together in saving it! The urban flooding in Karachi has destroyed slums,colonies and more than 1000 houses in the city with more than 90 killed in the most terrifying rains Karachi has ever witnessed. What is being shown on the internet is only a percentage of the actual damage that has been caused.

A whopping 484 mm of rain has fallen in August leading to irreparable structural damages. On Thursday the metropolitan city received 223.5mm of rain. There are power outages, people stuck in their offices, relocated to temporary locations and in need of food and clean drinking water. And some are even missing, unable to be found until now.

Karachi has received 475 mm or 19 inches of rainfall in August – this is the most rainfall recorded in Karachi for any month ever

The previous record was 429.3 mm (17.17 inches) recorded in July 1967

Today a 53 year old record for most rain in any month has been broken

The truth is that the city is in a crisis right now and it needs us. The improper drainage system has wreaked havoc! Gutters are overflowing and people are requesting authorities to send cranes and machines to suck out the excess. They don’t want their electricity restored in fear of electrocution.

Relief and Rescue Efforts

Relief and rescue operations continue for flood victims in various parts of Karachi, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) directorate.

Army engineers have used heavy machinery in an effort to stop water flow from Malir Nadi. “Water in Malir Nadi has reduced and backflow from Quaidabad to Malir Nadi has started. Army engineers’ boats are employed in various areas to shift stranded people to safer places,” reports, the Nation

The media wing of the military said that cooked meal was provided to the affectees, flood victims stuck due to the heavy downpour in the city.

Over 200 families have shifted to rooftops due to the heavy flooding in Dur Muhammad Goth, Malir Nadi, and Kohi Goth.

Army helicopters will be flying to rescue these families after weather clearance, said the ISPR.

Emergency Relief Helpline

The city is crying for help and the least we can do is provide proper information for those in need. Each one of us is trying and try harder to play our part and help those in need. We have compiled here a list of contact information for foundation, ranger’s helpline, Edhi and other emergency contact numbers for you to share ahead.

Organizations to Donate To for Food & Flood Relief

Pakistan has been through worse and survived, because of the helping spirit of its people.  Several natural calamities have been overcome and this time is no different. More than the government, the people have always come together and lent helping hand. This time is no different.

Here is how you all can help!
