Pakistan Floods

Grain means survival

Grain is at the center of life for most farmers in Pakistan. The International Rescue Committee is working to help the poorest farmers, many of whom are still struggling to recover from the devastating floods of 2010, protect that essential crop. As the IRC’s Ned Colt reports from northern Pakistan, the hope is that the project can be expanded to include thousands more farm families. (Posted January 31, 2012)

Pakistan floods update

A year after record monsoon floods inundated 10 percent of Pakistan, the International Rescue Committee continues to help Pakistanis rebuild and recover. One in ten people was directly impacted by the floods, and many communities weren’t prepared for this year’s monsoon season. The IRC’s Ned Colt has this update from Pakistan.
