A heavy monsoon is affecting various parts of Pakistan. Medical check-ups and free drugs are being provided to flood-affected people at medical camps, and ration packs and tents are being distributed. The Army is rescuing people by boats and helicopters, and are setting up free medical camps to provide further medicine packs and ration packs. Medicines were provided to 1,000 people, and 150 ration packs distributed. A further 522 people were rescued in Muzaffargarh. Hundreds of thousands have had to flee their homes and tens of thousands are now completely homeless. Link roads and bridges have been swept away, leaving families stranded. Thousands of acres of crops ready to harvest have been destroyed, leaving farmers without a source of income and unable to feed their families. Christian Aid, Norwegian Church Aid, and Community World Service Asia are closely monitoring the situation.
