Friends of Sungi: Sharing on Flood Relief Work
|
|
Sungi have over 30 staff members who are trained in disaster
preparedness with experience in relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction after flash floods,
earthquake, heavy snowfall/rain. Therefore after July/August 2010 flood disaster, five teams have
been formed for: Kohistan, Charsada/Noshera/Swat/Dir, Rajanpur and Jaferabad. Working closely with
the local partners Sungi started with medical relief, food distribution, construction of doli to
cross the river, clearing of roads, water filtration boxes along with household items, hand pumps
installation/reactivation. Besides this Sungi is also a member of a network NHN (National
Humanitarian Network) which is working towards improving coordination in relief efforts on ground
involving the District Administration. Of course the need for a functioning local government system
is severally being felt at this point as lack of enough hands to deliver the relief effectively is
the burning issue.
