Swat Valley Update


MGR relief teams are working in Tehsil Thakt Bi Village and Takkar District Mardan.

In just a few days, MGR distributed relief items to nearly a thousand people.
Each package consisting of:

6kg rice
3kg pulses
0.5kg tea
1kg ghee
1kg salt
0.5kg spices
Blankets

Our work is continuing, but we need your support to help the thousands that are arriving on a daily basis, as the situation is rapidly deteriorating. This has now become the largest displacement in Pakistan’s history and we require your help to continue with this vital humanitarian work.

In coordination with the local government, we managed to help refugees who had recently arrived and who have not received any help what so ever. The people left everything behind only having the clothes on their back and were bedraggled and very distraught with fear of what they had experienced and what the future may hold for them. Imagine the reassurance we gave them when we provided them the basic necessities to keep themselves and their children alive. Your funds are urgently needed to provide essential food, water, shelter and blankets.

Shelter materials £100.00
Clean Drinking Water £30.00
Blankets/Mats £50.00
Kitchen Utensils £35.00
Medicines from £15.00
