Millions of people need urgent help in Pakistan due to devastating flooding.
The floods have destroyed or badly damaged more than a million homes, sweeping away schools, roads, businesses and everything else in their path. More than a thousand people have been killed with conditions expected to worsen as rains continue.
Charities are working to help save lives, providing food, temporary shelter, medical aid, clean water and sanitation but funds are urgently needed to reach more people.
The devastating flooding in Pakistan is truly heart-breaking. A third of the country is under water, which is an area the size of the UK, so this is a humanitarian disaster on a huge scale. In Brent, we have a large Pakistani diaspora who have family and relatives personally affected by the floods. Now is our opportunity to come together and support the people of Pakistan in their hour of need.
The UK Government will match pound-for-pound up to £5 million donated by the public to this appeal. Your donation could help save lives.
For more information on the Pakistan floods appeal visit the Disaster Emergency Committee website.
Your Brent is published quarterly and delivered to over 135,000 homes in Brent free of charge.
