Southern Baptists Respond to Pakistan

Southern Baptists are responding to the unprecedented flooding in an area of Pakistan where people already struggle with great tragedy and  hardship. As many as 1,600 people are reported dead and 4 million are homeless. A total of 20 million people have been affected by the heavy rains that continue to fall. Roads are blocked, bridges are destroyed, and landslides continue to threaten homes. These conditions make it difficult to get supplies into these areas. Shelter is the most urgent need, while food, water, and health care are also crucial. Pakistan has a population of 177 million. The UN World Food program estimated that as many as 6 million Pakistanis will require assistance in obtaining food during the weeks and months ahead. BGR has already released more than $300,000 in emergency funds to help the flood victims. In addition to providing transportation costs for rescuers and evacuations, Southern Baptist funds have purchased tents for temporary shelters, hot meals, and food staples. Thousands of people are being fed.
