Redbridge Pakistan Floods Emergency Appeal

Redbridge Council has partnered with Ilford Islamic Centre, national charity Islamic Relief UK and Al Mustafa Welfare Trust to launch an urgent appeal for donations to respond to the disaster in Pakistan. The flooding in Pakistan has resulted in at least 1,136 deaths since June, with numbers expected to rise dramatically, and roads, crops, homes and bridges have been destroyed across the country. Emergency teams are continuing lifesaving efforts in Pakistan and are on the ground working with local communities to establish how best to support affected families who urgently need food, shelter, bedding, and hygiene items. The situation in Pakistan is expected to deteriorate with more rainfall forecast. The Leader of Redbridge Council, Cllr Jas Athwal said “The devastation unfolding in Pakistan is heart-breaking and deeply personal to so many in Redbridge who have family living in Pakistan. It is our responsibility to step up and stand by Pakistan in its hour of need and we will do everything we can to help our brothers and sisters survive and recover from this catastrophic flooding.” Join us as we respond to the crisis unfolding in Pakistan.
