Berlin  Following heavy flooding in Pakistan, members of Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe are onsite to explore possible relief efforts. Johanniter has sufficient medication and medical consumables standing by to care for 30,000 people. In addition, Johanniter can also provide tents to house flood victims.

According to the Pakistani government, approximately one million are affected by flooding in the south-western part of the country, and over 100 have lost their lives.

Johanniter previously assisted Pakistan after the earthquake in 2005, when it set up a field hospital, and physicians and nurses were stationed in the country for several months. Johanniter also delivered tents and assisted in building earthquake resistant housing.

Johanniter is asking for emergency aid donations

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf addresses flood victims in Kambo Saeed near Larkana, 480 km (300 miles) from Karachi July 7, 2007. Musharraf told Islamist militants barricaded in a mosque on Saturday to surrender or die, while concern grew for hundreds of women and children inside the beseiged compound in the Pakistani capital.
