Qatar Charity is actively preparing its emergency relief response as severe monsoon floods continue to devastate Pakistan, targeting support for the hardest-hit communities. The organization plans to provide vulnerable households with dry food supplies, essential non-food items, and temporary shelter through tents, helping families manage displacement, food insecurity, and the loss of basic necessities.
The 2025 monsoon season has caused unprecedented destruction, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Punjab, Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir, and Sindh. Continuous heavy rainfall since June 26 has triggered flash floods, landslides, and widespread damage, leaving thousands in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. So far, the floods have claimed 707 lives, injured 967 people, destroyed 1,012 homes, partially damaged 914 more, and resulted in 1,108 livestock deaths. Rescue teams have evacuated nearly 18,000 individuals, while 482 relief camps and 31 medical camps are currently supporting over 29,311 displaced persons.
In response, the Relief, Rehabilitation & Settlement Department of KP has declared a state of emergency in several districts until August 31, 2025, to facilitate rapid relief operations. Qatar Charity’s Pakistan field office is coordinating with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and local authorities to ensure that its interventions align with national response plans. Emergency teams have been activated, and the organization is ready to respond immediately to deliver timely relief to affected families.
Qatar Charity has a history of effective humanitarian response in Pakistan, notably during the 2022 floods, when it partnered with Qatar Aid, the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), and other donors to assist over 500,000 people, including Afghan refugees, across 18 districts. That effort included the distribution of 39,140 food packages, 6,690 tents, and 5,000 hygiene kits, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to providing rapid and large-scale support to communities in crisis.
