Disaster Response

Disaster Response Emergency Response: Standing with Pakistan in Times of Crisis Medical Aid to Pakistan is proud to work with CDRS who provide emergency relief and mobile medical teams in times of disaster. When the D.G.Khan region of Pakistan was hit with devastating floods Medical Aid to Pakistan sent immediate support to aid the flood relief work.

From their donation CDRS were able to provide 2,000 water bottles, 50 tents and enough clothes, flour and bedding for a further 50 people. Organizations like the Rural Development Organization, The Leghari Foundation, The Imran Khan Foundation, The Gurmani Trust, U.K Association of Medical Aid Pakistan and the Bali Trust came forward to help the people of this region in the form of providing them with food, clothing, tents, bedding and other household items.

15 000 people are still displaced. In addition to delivering immediate supplies other CDRS projects we have recently supported include: Medical Aid to Pakistan stands at the forefront of disaster response in Pakistan, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 13 (Climate Action).

Through our partnership with CDRS (Community Development & Relief Services), we provide rapid emergency relief and mobile medical teams during natural disasters, ensuring immediate assistance reaches those most vulnerable.

Our comprehensive disaster response framework combines immediate relief with long-term rehabilitation, supporting communities through their most challenging times. This initiative directly contributes to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation SDG 11: Sustainable Communities • SDG 13: Climate Action Our Impact Following the devastating earthquake in Maskhail in October 2008, we worked with trusted local community representatives to understand conditions on the ground and identify the most vulnerable families in need of urgent support.

Shortly after the earthquake, a focal person from the community gathered detailed information, assessed priority needs, and coordinated fair and transparent distribution of relief. Our on-the-ground assessment revealed that while many households had received some medical aid, a significant number were still without adequate shelter and basic necessities.

We collected data to prioritise those most severely affected and organised a targeted relief effort. The following essential supplies were procured and distributed to affected families: Tents: Providing emergency shelter for families who had lost their homes Food supplies: Covering two weeks of provisions per family Mosquito nets: Protecting families from insect-borne diseases Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS): addressing dehydration and illness Water purification tablets: Ensuring access to safe, clean drinking water These supplies helped families regain a basic level of safety and dignity in the aftermath of the October 2008 earthquake, protecting against disease and supporting recovery during a critical period of rebuilding.
