ISLAMABAD – The United Kingdom has announced £1.33 million (approximately PKR 600 million) in humanitarian aid to support communities affected by recent monsoon rains and floods in Pakistan. The assistance will benefit over 223,000 people across seven flood-affected districts in Punjab, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
British High Commissioner Jane Marriott said the UK is working with partners to deliver immediate relief, including food supplies, search and rescue operations, mobile medical camps, restoration of drinking water systems, canal repairs, and agricultural support.
So far, 2,400 local volunteers have been trained in search and rescue under the BRAVE project, funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and implemented by CESVI in collaboration with Rescue 1122 in Charsadda. Among them, 25 trained volunteers are currently engaged in relief efforts in flood-hit areas of Buner.
Mobile medical camps are being established in severely affected regions to provide essential health services where local clinics have been damaged. In addition, tents, food rations, household items, and dignity kits for women are being distributed to affected families.
