Emergency relief and immunization

Khan Zadi, 40, a mother of four in the flood zone, had been struggling since her husband abandoned the family। Now the floods have inflicted yet more hardship।Although they all survived the floods, Ms. Zadi had to send three of her children – the eldest 12 years of age and the youngest only 4 – to a nearby town to stay with relatives. She has had no contact with them since they were separated. Her 10-month-old baby Amis, who remains with her, is suffering from diarrhoea and skin disease.

Because of the flood emergency, two of Balochistan’s seven districts have been unable to participate in a nationwide measles campaign supported by UNICEF। The largest-ever vaccination effort in the country aims to reach more than 63 million children by March 2008.
