WHO emergency appeal: Health crisis in flood-affected Pakistan
September 2022-May 2023

Pakistan is on the verge of a public health disaster as a result of the massive monsoon rainfalls and unprecedented levels of flooding that are affecting 33 million people across the country. 

The risk of disease outbreaks is extremely high and malnutrition rates are rising.

WHO requires US$81.5 million to respond to this health crisis in flood-affected Pakistan, to ensure a coordinated delivery of essential health care services, efficient management of severe acute malnutrition, and stronger outbreak detection and control.
