Published purpose
October 2022 – Heavy monsoon rainfall has affected Pakistan since mid-June. The rainfall is causing widespread flooding that has affected 33 million people. Reports show that it has resulted in road closures, power outages and disruptions to communications in multiple regions. To date, over 1,300 people have died in the floods and nearly 13,000 injured. An estimated Can$20.6 million people require humanitarian aid because of the floods. In response to the elevated level of humanitarian needs, Global Affairs Canada launched the Pakistan Floods Matching Fund in partnership with the Humanitarian Coalition and its members. Through this mechanism, the Government of Canada matches eligible donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members for the floods in Pakistan up to a maximum of $7.5 million. Project activity includes delivering life-saving assistance to those most in need. This includes providing emergency cash and voucher assistance, food aid and necessary activities to support food and nutrition.
