Donate now to the Pakistan floods response
Huge swathes of Pakistan are now under an ocean of contaminated water following the worst floods in living memory. Oxfam is there and we need your help.
By donating now you can help save lives.
High, rushing waters have washed away whole villages, thousands of acres of crops, schools, bridges and railway tracks. And the rain is still falling. Many families have lost everything.
Our teams are on the ground right now providing clean water, sanitation kits and hygiene supplies. We have helped 182,000 people so far and plan to reach at least 600,000 people in the hardest-hit areas. We have deployed emergency boats to assist government search and rescue efforts and have so far evacuated 80,000 people.

We need your donation now to help us continue to provide life-saving essentials to the thousands left homeless.

There is a high risk of water-borne disease spreading. We are moving fast with supplies to help people get through the immediate days and weeks and will stay for the long-term to help people begin to rebuild their lives.
Please click here to make an online donation now to our Pakistan floods response or phone our emergency line on 0800 400 666.
Your donation will help provide relief to families who have lost everything.
Yours sincerely

Executive Director
