The SRC said its S$50,000 contribution will go towards supporting the Pakistan Red Crescent Society’s (PRCS) scaled-up emergency response.
This includes search and rescue operations, first aid and health interventions through mobile health units, establishing shelters, damage assessments and cash assistance.
PRCS branches have been distributing food and water, hygiene and dignity kits, and holding psychosocial support and awareness activities. They have also mobilised their water treatment units and distributed essential items such as mosquito nets and water filtration units.
“The ongoing floods have left communities across the affected regions in crisis,” said the SRC.
“Roads and infrastructure have been severely damaged, preventing timely delivery of aid to isolated areas. Entire remote mountain villages have been destroyed, and the disaster has devastated livelihoods, destroying homes, crops, and sources of income for many families.
“The scale of destruction threatens to cripple agriculture, livelihoods, and key export crops, exacerbating the hardships for affected communities,” it added.
Mr Benjamin William, secretary general and CEO of the humanitarian organisation, said: “The SRC believes that humanity has no borders and is calling on Singaporeans to stand in solidarity with those affected and to extend a hand of compassion in their darkest hour.
“Every contribution will deliver critical relief and bring hope to those who have lost so much.”
