The United Kingdom has announced £1.33 million in humanitarian aid to help the people of Pakistan affected by recent floods.
This support comes at a time when thousands of families are struggling to rebuild their lives after heavy rains and floods caused widespread damage.
The relief package will reach more than 223,000 people in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
It will cover essential needs such as food distribution for families who have lost their livelihoods, search and rescue operations for those stranded in dangerous areas, and mobile medical camps to provide healthcare services in flood-affected regions.
Along with this, the aid will also contribute to repairing and rehabilitating damaged water systems, ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water.
The UK’s assistance goes beyond immediate relief and looks toward building long-term resilience. Part of the package will focus on disaster preparedness by training 2,400 community volunteers.
These volunteers will be equipped to respond quickly in emergencies and support their local communities during crises. In addition, a preparedness dashboard will be developed to help monitor risks and enable faster responses in the future.
UK High Commissioner to Pakistan, Jane Marriott, emphasized that this contribution reflects Britain’s strong commitment to supporting Pakistan during difficult times.
She added that the aid is not just about relief but also about helping Pakistan become better prepared to face future disasters.
This initiative highlights the importance of global partnerships in tackling climate-related challenges and shows the UK’s solidarity with Pakistan in its journey of recovery and resilience.
