Evaluation of the emergency response to the 2010 floods in Pakistan

The Pakistan floods crisis of 2010 began in July 2010 following heavy monsoon rains in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan provinces. UNOCHA estimates indicate that almost 2000 people were killed, over 1.7 million homes were destroyed and almost 18 million people were seriously affected, exceeding the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
