Heavy showers trigging floods have pounded much of Pakistan after the government declared an emergency to deal with the situation as more than 30 million people.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said Friday that more than 900 people had been killed this year — including 34 in the last 24 hours — as a result of the monsoon rains that began in June.
The federal and provincial governments have been seeking assistance from the people of Pakistan and international donors to expedite the relief operation.
Here’s how and where you can donate for flood victims.
Prime Minister’s Relief Fund Account
The Government of Pakistan has notified the establishment of a flood relief fund, the Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund 2022, to provide relief and rehabilitation to the affected population due to torrential rains and flash floods in many parts of the country.
The fund shall accept donations/contributions both from domestic and international sources for the aforesaid purpose. The fund will be administered by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) while the Auditor General of Pakistan will maintain accounts of the fund.
Donate Rs10 by sending SMS on 9999
You can also donate from your mobile phone. For assistance, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has also introduced an easy setup to donate to the PM relief account. Mobile users can donate Rs10 by typing ‘fund’ in the SMS option and sending it to 9999.
