An estimated 1.5 million people have been affected, with up to 300 lives lost.  250,000 people have been left homeless, while storms have continued over the last two weeks.

A total of 15 out of 29 districts across the province have been affected from coastal areas to northern districts of Balochistan. Bridges and communications infrastructures have been badly damaged and many areas remain inaccessible by road.

Concern’s response
