Resumen
Descripción
The lives and livelihoods of around 3.3 million people in Pakistan, mostly living in rural areas, have been significantly disrupted by this year’s massive monsoon driven floods. Their homes have been destroyed as well as schools, hospitals, nearly 1.8 million ha of agricultural land, livestock assets, forests and critical agricultural infrastructure. In addition, some 800 000 livestock were lost. Through SFERA, the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 500 000, enabling FAO to not only extend its response to the floods in all four provinces, but also to provide critical support to restore the livelihoods of flood-affected farmers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. This will not only help them resume food production activities but also enhance their resilience against future shocks.
