Updates of 30th & 31st August 2010
We tried very hard to get security cover from either Army, Rangers or Police but failed to obtain such. While exploring area around Makli and Thatta, we identified a local network who helped us in our working in Sujawal area. So we started our assessment in this area and identified a total of ~ 450 families there. We will be insha’Allah serving those families tomorrow.

While we were searching the area surrounding Makli and Thatta today, we identified some concentration on a mountain 2 – 3 km off highway after Gujjo. We went there and start assessment of the area. There were total 18 families and they came from Jati, Sindh. They were un served up till now and need ration on urgent basis. We went ASAP to near by market to arrange ration for these families on urgent basis. We arranged 18 packages each of them containing following items:
After purchasing, we loaded and transport these packages to the identified area and distribute them to those families.
Updates of 28th August 2010
Travel to Makli and Thatta. Spent whole day in the assessing the surrounding areas. Try to locate any available local networks, NGOs, Government Institutions and Armed Forces who are involved in relief activities there. Army was conducting Rescue operations. There were almost 4 – 5 million people out there and security situation was worse because people are looting every caravan that came there to help them. Talked to Army, Rangers and Police but no one agree to escort or give cover for relief operations because people count was huge and they can not do any thing in case of any untoward incident.
