2010 Pakistan floods
Duration: Current, started on 26 July 2010
Damages: $43 Billion [1] a
Fatalities: 2,000+[2]
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab,

Areas affected: Sindh, Balochistan and Gilgit
Baltistan
The 2010 Pakistan floods began in July 2010 following heavy monsoon rains in the Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan regions of Pakistan. Present estimates indicate that
over two thousand people [2] have died and over a million homes have been destroyed since the
flooding began.[3] The United Nations estimates that more than 21 million[4] people are injured or
homeless[5][6] as a result of the flooding,[5][6] exceeding the combined total of individuals affected
by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
However, the death count in each of those three disasters was significantly higher than the
number of people killed so far in the floods.[6] At one point, approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's
total land area was underwater due to the flooding.[7][8][9]
UN Secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon has asked for an initial $460 million for emergency relief,
noting that the flood was the worst disaster he had ever seen. 50% of the relief funds requested
has been received as of 15 August 2010.[10] The U.N. is concerned that aid is not arriving fast
enough, while the World Health Organization reported that ten million people were forced to
drink unsafe water.[11] The Pakistani economy has been harmed by extensive damage to
infrastructure and crops.[12] Structural damages are estimated to exceed 4 billion USD, and wheat
crop damages are estimated to be over 500 million USD.[13] Officials estimate the total economic
impact to be as much as 43 billion USD.[14][15]

Causes
Current flooding is blamed on unprecedented monsoon rain.[16] The rainfall anomaly map
published by NASA shows unusually intense monsoon rains attributed to La Niña.[17] On 21
June, the Pakistan Meteorological Department cautioned that urban and flash flooding could
occur from July to September in the north parts of the country.[18] The same department recorded
above-average rainfall in the months of July and Aug 2010,[19] and monitored the flood wave
progression .[20] Some of the discharge levels recorded are comparable to those seen during the
floods of 1988, 1995, and 1997 .[21]
An article in the Ñ
[22] attributed the cause of the exceptional rainfall to "freezing" of
the jet stream, a phenomenon that reportedly also caused an unprecedented heat wave and
wildfires in Russia as well as the 2007 United Kingdom floods.[23]
Flooding and Impact

and 31 July 2010 (bottom)
The floods were caused by monsoon rains, which were forecast to continue into early August and
were described as the worst in this area in the last 80 years.[24] The Pakistan Meteorological
Department said that over 200 mm (7.88 inches) of rain fell over a 24-hour period over a number
of places of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab and more was expected.[25] A record breaking
274 mm (10.7 inches) rain fell in Peshawar during 24 hours,[26] previously 187 mm (7.36 inches)
of rain was recorded in April 2009.[27] So far 500,000 or more people have been displaced from
their homes.[24] On 30 July, Manuel Bessler, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs, stated that 36 districts were involved, and 950,000 people were
affected,[28] although within a day, reports increased that number to as high as a million,[29] and
by mid-August to nearly 20 million affected.[30] The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial minister of
information, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, said "the infrastructure of this province was already
destroyed by terrorism. Whatever was left was finished off by these floods."[31] He also called the
floods "the worst calamity in our history."[32] Four million Pakistanis were left with food
shortages.[33]
Officials have warned that the death-toll could rise, as many towns and villages are not
accessible, and communications have been disrupted. In some areas, the water level was 5.5 m
(18 ft) high and residents were seen on roof-tops waiting for aid to arrive.[32] At least 1,588
people have been injured, 222,600 houses and 4,600 villages have been damaged or
destroyed.[34] The Karakoram Highway, which connects Pakistan with China, was closed after a
bridge was destroyed.[35] The ongoing devastating floods in Pakistan will have a severe impact
on an already vulnerable population, says the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
In addition to all the other damages the floods have caused, floodwaters have destroyed much of
the health care infrastructure in the worst-affected areas, leaving inhabitants especially
vulnerable to water-borne disease.[36] In Sindh, the Indus River burst its banks near Sukkur on 8
August, submerging the village of Mor Khan Jatoi.[33] There is also an absence of law and order,
mainly in Sindh. Looters have been taking advantage of the floods by ransacking abandoned
homes using boats.[37]
Affected areas as of August 26, 2010
In early August, the heaviest flooding moved southward along the Indus River from severely-
affected northern regions toward western Punjab, where at least 1,400,000 acres (570,000 ha) of
cropland was destroyed,[33] and the southern province of Sindh.[38] The crops affected were
cotton, sugarcane, rice, pulses, tobacco and animal fodder. Floodwaters and rain destroyed
700,000 acres (3,000 km2) of cotton, 200,000 acres (800 km2) acres each of rice and cane,
500,000 tonnes of wheat and 300,000 acres (1,000 km2) of animal fodder.[39][40] According to the
Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association, the floods destroyed 2 million bales of cotton, which led to
an increase in futures of the commodity in international market.[41][42] 170,000 citizens (or 70%
of the population) of the historic Sindh town of Thatta fled advancing flood waters on August the
27th.[43]
Pakistani authorities have predicted that fresh rainfall is expected to trigger two further waves of
flooding, inundating more land and swallowing yet more villages. One of these new flood surges
was currently sweeping down from mountainous areas in the north as of August 11, and was
expected to hit highly populated areas in the coming days, while the second wave was being
formed in the mountains.[44]
As of August 29, 2010, in camps in Pakistan's Punjab province, people were still waiting for aid
distribution. Since late July, the Pakistan flood has resulted in at least 16 deaths, and about 2,000
people have been directly affected. Chinese international rescuers arrived in Pakistan on August
27 to provide humanitarian aid.
Heavy rainfalls recorded during the wet spell of July 2010
Heavy rainfalls of more than 200 millimetres (7.9 in) recorded during the four day wet spell of

Aftermath
The power infrastructure of Pakistan also took a severe blow from the floods, which damaged
10,000 transmission lines and transformers, feeders and power houses in different flood-hit
areas. Flood water inundated Jinnah Hydro power and 150 power houses in Gilgit. The damage
caused a power shortfall of 3.135 gigawatts.[45]
Aid agencies have warned that outbreaks of diseases, such as: gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and skin
diseases due to lack of clean drinking water and sanitation can pose a serious new risk to flood
victims.[46][47] On 14 August, the first documented case of cholera emerged in the town of
Mingora, striking fear into millions of stranded flood victims, who are already suffering from
gastroenteritis and diarrhea.[48][49][50] It has been reported by the International Red Cross that a
large number of unexploded ordinance, such as mines and artillery shells, have been flushed
down stream by the floods from areas in Kashmir and Waziristan and scattered in low lying
areas, posing a future risk to returning inhabitants.[51] The United Nations estimated that 800,000
people have been cut off by floods in Pakistan and are only reachable by air. It also stated that at
least 40 more helicopters are needed to ferry lifesaving aid to increasingly desperate people.
Many of those cut off are in the mountainous northwest, where roads and bridges have been
swept away.[52]
By order of President Asif Ali Zardari, there were no official celebrations of Pakistan's 63rd
Independence Day on 14 August, due to the calamity the country faces.[53]
Potential long term effects

Food
Floods have submerged 17 million acres of Pakistan's most fertile crop land, have killed 200,000
herd of livestock and have washed away massive amounts of grain. A major concern is that
farmers will be unable to meet the fall deadline for planting new seeds in 2010, which implies a
massive loss of food production in 2011, and potential long term food shortages.[54] The
agricultural damages are more than 2.9 billion dollars, according to recent estimates, and include
over 700,000 acres of lost cotton crops, 200,000 acres of sugar cane and 200,000 acres of rice, in
addition to the loss of over 500,000 tonnes of stocked wheat, 300,000 acres of animal fodder and
the stored grain losses.[55][56]
Agricultural crops such as cotton, rice, and sugarcane and to some extent mangoes were badly
affected in Punjab, according to a Harvest Tradings-Pakistan spokesman. He called for the
international community to fully participate in the rehabilitation process, as well as for the
revival of agricultural crops in order to get better GDP growth in the future.
In affected Multan Division in South Punjab, some people were seen to be engaging in profit-
taking in this disaster, raising their prices up to Rs 130/kg. Some have called for Zarai Taraqiati
Bank Limited to write off all agricultural loans in the affected areas in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber
Pukhtunkhwa especially for small farmers.[57]
Infrastructure
Floods have damaged an estimated 2,433 miles of highway and 3,508 miles of railway. Cost
estimates for highway damages are approximately 158 million USD, and railway damages are
131 million USD. Any unique or particularly large infrastructure damages will increase these
estimates.[13] Public building damages are estimated at 1 billion USD.[13]
Taliban insurgency
The flood will divert Pakistani military forces from fighting the Pakistani Taliban insurgents
(TTP) in the Northwest because they will be needed to help in the relief effort.[58] It is feared that
this will allow Taliban fighters to regroup.[59] On the other hand, some are suggesting that by
helping flood victims, the US has an opportunity to improve its image.[60]
The Pakistani Taliban have also engaged in relief efforts and are making inroads where the
government is absent or seen as corrupt.[61] As the flood may have dislodged many property
markers, it is feared that governmental delay and corruption will give an advantage to the
Taliban to settle these disputes swiftly.[61] A Taliban spokesperson asked the Pakistani
government to reject Western help from "Christians and Jews" and claimed that the Taliban
could raise $20 million to replace that aid.[61][62]
According to an US official the TTP had issued a threat saying that it will launch attacks against
foreigners participating in flood relief operations.[63] In response, the United Nations said it was
reviewing security arrangements for its workers. The World Health Organization stated that
work in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was already suffering because of the security concerns
there.[64] However, an unverified Taliban spokesperson based in Orakzai told u
u : ³We have not issued any such threat; and we don¶t have any plans to attack relief
workers."[65] Reportedly three American Christians were killed by the Taliban on August 25 in
the Swat Valley.[66]
Relief efforts
A bridge damaged by the flooding
Pakistan has appealed to international donors for help in responding to the disaster.[67] Twenty-
one helicopters and 150 boats were pressed into service to assist the affected people according to
the National Disaster Management Authority of Pakistan.[68] The US embassy in Pakistan
provided seven helicopters to the authorities to assist in relief-operations.[69] The United Nations
also launched relief efforts.[28] It appealed for $460 million to provide immediate help, including
food, shelter and clean water. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited Pakistan on 15 August
to oversee and discuss the relief efforts.[46][47] A Pakistani army spokesman said that troops had
been deployed in all affected areas and had rescued thousands of people.[31] Prime Minister
Yousaf Raza Gillani visited the province and directed the Pakistan Navy to help evacuate the
flood-victims.[70] By early August, more than 352,291 people have been rescued.[34]
According to the Reliefweb Financial Tracking service, total donations worldwide for
humanitarian assistance so far come to $687 million, with a further $324 million promised in
uncommitted pledges, as of August 27, 2010.[71]
By the end of August the Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu of the Organization of the
Islamic Conference (OIC) stated that Muslim countries, organizations and individuals had
pledged close to $1 billion to assist in Pakistan¶s flood emergency.[72] This statement is placed in
doubt by findings from the U.N. Financial Tracking Service that indicate that only 3 of 56 OIC¶s
member states - Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Kuwait - had pledged more than single digit
millions.[72] Pakistan¶s Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani stated that by the end of August Saudi
Arabia's support exceeded that of the US, yet both UN data and data from Pakistan's Disaster
Management Authority fail to support this claim.[72]
Sun Charity USA is one of the private relief outfits active in Pakistan.[73]

Criticism of response
The Pakistani government was blamed for sluggish and disorganized response to the floods.[247]
The perceived disorganized and insufficient response led to instances of riots, with attacks and
looting of aid convoys by hunger-stricken people.[248] The lack of a unified government response
allowed Islamic groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-e-Islami to supply aid with minimal
resistance.[249][250] President Asif Ali Zardari was also criticized for going ahead with visits to
meet leaders in Britain and France at a time when his nation was facing catastrophe.[251][252] In
Sindh, the ruling Pakistan People's Party ministers were accused of using their influence to direct
flood waters off their crops while risking densely populated areas.[253]
International community, United Nations and White House are closely monitoring the
deployment of the relief funds by the government of Pakistan. It is feared that the fund for relief
will be diverted by the Pakistani government towards their military budget as done in the past.
The United Nations criticized the international community for responding slowly, despite the
ferocity and magnitude of disaster. As of 9 August, only $45 million in aid had been committed,
which is far less than usual for a natural disaster of this scale.[254] In an analysis of the response
to the disaster, u said that there was a dire need of relief goods in the immediate
aftermath of the floods. It quoted the UN's humanitarian affairs co-ordination office, saying that
"[s]ix million [of the 14 million affected] are children and 3 million women of child-bearing age.
This is a higher figure than in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami."[255]
India, a neighbor of Pakistan, was being criticized by Pakistan for being completely silent about
the calamity for 2 weeks. It was described by u as "India seems to be aloof and blind
to the tragedy affecting Pakistan" with the Indian media "barely giving the disaster" any
coverage, while "the international community and aid agencies pump aid to those
affected".[256][257][258][259] NDTV claimed that the limited flood coverage was because Pakistan
has not approved visas to Indian media people for visiting Pakistan to cover the floods.[121] On 13
August, India offered condolences and $5 million,[258][259] and Pakistan rejected the offer;
Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said, "We appreciate India's gesture, but can't
take aid now."[260] accepted the offer following US threat to stop politics on 20 August[261] Also,
there are nearly 400 Indian doctors, who are waiting for the Pakistan government's nod for visas
to help flood victims.[121] India has supplied first consignment of 25 truck-loads of Indian potato
to Pakistan.[122]
An analysis by AP's correspondent, Nahal Toosi, suggested that a number of factors account for
the inadequate international response, namely the low death toll, the protracted unfolding of the
extent of the catastrophe, the lack of celebrity involvement, the impression that the government
is not focused on the event, and a certain donor fatigue, perhaps more so as Pakistan has been
receiving support before.[262]
British Prime Minister David Cameron was accused by Pakistan of hampering international aid
efforts after he claimed that Pakistan was responsible for promoting terrorism.[263][264]
Some potential donors doubt that funds will reach victims of the flood, but will rather be diverted
to terrorist groups such as the Taliban, despite a significant amount of the aid effort being
directed by the United Nations.[265]
Neglect of minorities
It has been reported that members of Pakistan's Ahmadiyya Muslim community, who were
caught up in floods in Muzaffargarh, were not rescued from their homes because rescuers felt
that Muslims must be given priority. Ahmadi Muslims complained to the government that not
only were they not rescued but in some instances ejected from relief camps when their identity
was disclosed. Ahmadis were declared a non-Muslim minority by the Pakistani government
which prevented them to 'pose as Muslims' and have faced continued persecution.[266][267] Human
Rights Commision of Pakistan condemned the denial of relief to Ahmadis.[268] It also stated ³The
commission has noted with concern reports of lack of provision of relief goods to flood-affected
Ahmadi families, expulsion of displaced Ahmadis from a government school in Dera Ghazi
Khan and rented lodgings elsewhere in southern Punjab after clerics¶ pressure as well as issuance
of edicts by clerics that affected Ahmadis must not be provided help." [269]
Members of the Sikh community, who arrived in gurdwaras in Lahore, also complained of
government apathy. They said members of their community were abandoned in Khyber-
Pakhtoonkhwa and had to arrange rescue for themselves.[266] In Peshawar the Sikh leaders
accused the Government of Pakistan of not helping them after the floods swept away their homes
and businesses and threatened to protest lack of assistance by the Government.[270]
Protests broke out in Lyari relief camp after Hindu victims of Baagri and Waghari nomadic
tribes were served beef by the authorities in violation of their religious beliefs which forbids
consumption of beef. The situation was resolved after officials from minority affairs ministry
intervened.[271][272]
Diversions of floodwaters
UN ambassador and Pakistani diplomat Abdullah Hussain Haroon called for an inquiry into
allegations that rich landowners diverted water into unprotected villages during the floods to
save their own crops, and said "there was evidence that landowners had allowed embankments to
burst."[273]
Allegations of Indian conspiracy
On the 28th August, the Nawa-i-Waqt Urdu daily alleged India had caused the devastating floods
in Pakistan by releasing excess water into the Satluj and Beas rivers and was now trying to
inundate Lahore by pumping more water in the Ravi river, despite the fact that since the floods
caused were actually from excess rain.[274]
Major international media outlets including the White House dismisses the claims as "nonsense".
Inequality
Abdullah Hussain Haroon, Pakistan's diplomat to the United Nations, has alleged that wealthy
feudal warlords and landowners in Pakistan have been diverting funds and resources away from
the poor and into their own private relief efforts.[275] Haroon also alluded to was evidence that
landowners had allowed embankments to burst, leading to water flowing away from their
land.[276] There are also allegations that local authorities colluded with the warlords to divert
funds.[277] The floods have accentuated the sharp divisions in Pakistan between the wealthy and
the poor. The wealthy, with better access to transportation and other facilities, have suffered far
less than the poor of Pakistan.[278]
