Update Swat Valley 2nd June 2009


MGR has been working in Pakistan since 2000, our teams have responded to all major emergencies in Pakistan; from the 2002 Rawalpindi floods, 2003 Chakmisran tornado, 2004 Sindh floods, 2005 Kashmir earthquake to the Baluchistan crisis in 2007 to name a few - but the situation is deteriorating rapidly as the number of displaced people is estimated at 2.4 million.

Due to the number of people some camps are cramped and conditions are unhygienic where diseases are easily spread. In some places there are up to 500 people sharing just two toilets, many women and girls have not washed since they fled their homes because washing facilities in some camps are not adequate and in close proximity to male washing facilities.
