Homes and belongings lost

In Najma’s village, almost every family was affected by the recent cyclone floods – the first in the area in 30 years. Many villagers lost their homes and belongings, and are now seeking refuge in basic shelters on the high ground.








Najma carries water from a pump back to her family’s shelter, but for many displaced by flooding in Sindh Province, access to safe water is a luxury।




Najma’s family saw their cattle drowned and their rice crops ruined। They sleep on the road under a neighbour’s tractor.Across the floodwaters, which have yet to recede, Najma can still see her village. But the mud walls of her home are slowly collapsing before her eyes.
