PYCA Launches Appeal to help Pakistani Flood Victims

Pakistan Youth and Community Association (PYCA) is launching an appeal to help the millions of people hit by Pakistan’s devastating floods.

The country’s worst ever flooding has affected almost 14 million people. The disaster has resulted in a mass movement of people leaving 500,000 homeless
and in desperate need of food, clean water, health care and shelter. The official figure of people killed in floods is 1600.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said the disaster had eclipsed the scale of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan and January’s earthquake in Haiti put together.

“Pakistan is suffering the Worst Natural Disaster in its living memory; millions of people need our support to survive. PYCA has launched this campaign to help people who are in need of direct humanitarian assistance. I appeal for people and charities to act quickly and donate generously to help those affected at this difficult time, 100% of proceeds will go to the victims,” Mustafa Malik, Chief Executive of the Pakistan Youth and Community Association said.

PYCA is receiving the donations at their base at Pakistan Centre, 58 Earl Howe Street, Leicester LE2 0DF. Donations can be deposited directly in the following bank account,
