Areas affected: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and Gilgit-Baltistan

The 2010 Pakistan floods began in July 2010 following heavy monsoon rains in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan regions of Pakistan. Present estimates indicate that over two thousand people[2] have died and over a million homes have been destroyed since the flooding began.[3] The United Nations estimates that more than 21 million[4] people are injured or homeless as a result of the flooding, exceeding the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[5] At one point, approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's total land area was underwater due to the flooding.[6] [7] [8] UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has asked for an initial $460 million for emergency relief, noting that the flood was the worst disaster he had ever seen. 50% of the relief funds requested has been received as of 15 August 2010.[9] The U.N. is concerned that aid is not arriving fast enough, while the World Health Organization reported that ten million people were forced to drink unsafe water.[10] The Pakistani economy has been harmed by extensive damage to infrastructure and crops.[11] Structural damages are estimated to exceed 4 billion USD, and wheat crop damages are estimated to be over 500 million USD.[12] Officials estimate the total economic impact to be as much as 43 billion USD.[13] [14]

Causes
Current flooding is blamed on unprecedented monsoon rain.[15] The rainfall anomaly map published by NASA shows unusually intense monsoon rains attributed to La Niña.[16] On 21 June, the Pakistan Meteorological Department cautioned that urban and flash flooding could occur from July to September in the north parts of the country.[17] The same department recorded above-average rainfall in the months of July and August 2010,[18] and monitored the flood wave progression.[19] Some of the discharge levels recorded are comparable to those seen during

2010 Pakistan floods the floods of 1988, 1995, and 1997.[20] An article in the New Scientist[21] attributed the cause of the exceptional rainfall to "freezing" of the jet stream, a phenomenon that reportedly also caused an unprecedented heat wave and wildfires in Russia as well as the 2007 United Kingdom floods.[22]

Flooding and impact
Floods
Monsoon rains were forecast to continue into early August and were described as the worst in this area in the last 80 years.[23] The Pakistan Meteorological Department said that over 200 mm (7.88 inches) of rain fell over a 24-hour period over a number of places of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab and more was expected.[24] A record-breaking 274 mm (10.7 inches) rain fell in Peshawar during 24 hours,[25] previously 187 mm (7.36 inches) of rain was recorded in April 2009.[26] So far 500,000 or more people have been displaced from their homes.[23] On 30 July, Manuel Bessler, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, stated that 36 districts were involved, and 950,000 people were affected,[27] although within a day, reports increased that number to as high as a million,[28] and by mid-August to nearly 20 million affected.[29] The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial minister of information, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, said "the infrastructure of this province was already destroyed by terrorism. Whatever was left was finished off by these floods."[30] He also called the floods "the worst calamity in our history."[31] Four million Pakistanis were left with food shortages.[32]

Officials have warned that the death toll could rise, as many towns and villages are not accessible, and communications have been disrupted. In some areas, the water level was 5.5 m (18 ft) high and residents were seen on roof-tops waiting for aid to arrive.[31] At least 1,588 people have been injured, 222,600 houses and 4,600 villages have been damaged or destroyed.[33] The Karakoram Highway, which connects Pakistan with China, was closed after a bridge was destroyed.[34] The ongoing devastating floods in Pakistan will have a severe impact on an already vulnerable population, says the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). In addition to all the other damages the floods have caused, floodwater have destroyed much of the health care infrastructure in the worst-affected areas, leaving inhabitants especially vulnerable to water-borne disease.[35] In Sindh, the Indus River burst its banks near Sukkur on 8 August, submerging the village of Mor Khan Jatoi.[32] There is also an absence of law and order, mainly in Sindh. Looters have been taking advantage of the floods by ransacking abandoned homes using boats.[36]

In early August, the heaviest flooding moved southward along the Indus River from severely-affected northern regions toward western Punjab, where at least 1,400,000 acres (unknown operator: u',' ha) of cropland was destroyed,[32] and the southern province of Sindh.[37] The crops affected were cotton, sugarcane, rice, pulses, tobacco and animal fodder. Floodwaters and rain destroyed 700,000 acres ( km2) of cotton, 200000 acres (800 km2) acres each of rice and cane, 500,000 tonnes of wheat and 300000 acres (1000 km2) of animal fodder.[38] [39] According to the Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association, Affected areas as of August 26, 2010 the floods destroyed 2 million bales of cotton, which led to an increase in futures of the commodity in international market.[40] [41] 170,000 citizens (or 70% of the population) of the historic Sindh town of Thatta fled advancing flood waters on 27 August 2010.[42] Pakistani authorities predicted that additional rainfall was expected to trigger two further waves of flooding in the mid-August, inundating more land and swallowing more villages. One of these new flood surges was sweeping down from mountainous areas in the north as of August 11, and was expected to hit highly populated areas in the coming days, while the second wave was being formed in the mountains.[43]

Aftermath
The power infrastructure of Pakistan also took a severe blow from the floods, which damaged 10,000 transmission lines and transformers, feeders and power houses in different flood-hit areas. Flood water inundated Jinnah Hydro power and 150 power houses in Gilgit. The damage caused a power shortfall of 3.135 gigawatt.[44] Aid agencies have warned that outbreaks of diseases, such as: gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and skin diseases due to lack of clean drinking water and sanitation can pose a serious new risk to flood victims.[45] [46] On 14 August, the first documented case of cholera emerged in the town of Mingora, striking fear into millions of stranded flood victims, who are already suffering from gastroenteritis and diarrhea.[47] [48] [49] It has been reported by the International Red Cross that a large number of unexploded ordinance, such as mines and artillery shells, have been flushed down stream by the floods from areas in Kashmir and Waziristan and scattered in low lying areas, posing a future risk to returning inhabitants.[50] The United Nations estimated that 800,000 people have been cut off by floods in Pakistan and are only reachable by air. It also stated that at least 40 more helicopters are needed to ferry lifesaving aid to increasingly desperate people. Many of those cut off are in the mountainous northwest, where roads and bridges have been swept away.[51] By order of President Asif Ali Zardari, there were no official celebrations of Pakistan's 63rd Independence Day on 14 August, due to the calamity the country faces.[52]

Potential long term effects
Food
Floods have submerged 17 million acres (69000 km2) of Pakistan's most fertile crop land, have killed 200,000 herd of livestock and have washed away massive amounts of grain. A major concern is that farmers will be unable to meet the fall deadline for planting new seeds in 2010, which implies a massive loss of food production in 2011, and potential long term food shortages.[53] The agricultural damages are more than 2.9 billion dollars, according to recent

2010 Pakistan floods estimates, and include over 700000 acres (2800 km2) of lost cotton crops, 200000 acres (810 km2) of sugar cane and 200000 acres (810 km2) of rice, in addition to the loss of over 500,000 tonnes of stocked wheat, 300000 acres (1200 km2) of animal fodder and the stored grain losses.[54] [55] Agricultural crops such as cotton, rice, and sugarcane and to some extent mangoes were badly affected in Punjab, according to a Harvest Tradings-Pakistan spokesman. He called for the international community to fully participate in the rehabilitation process, as well as for the revival of agricultural crops in order to get better GDP growth in the future. In affected Multan Division in South Punjab, some people were seen to be engaging in profit-taking in this disaster, raising their prices up to Rs 130/kg. Some have called for Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited to write off all agricultural loans in the affected areas in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pukhtunkhwa especially for small farmers.[56]

Infrastructure
Floods have damaged an estimated 2,433 miles of highway and 3508 miles (5646 km) of railway. Cost estimates for highway damages are approximately 158 million USD, and railway damages are 131 million USD. Any unique or particularly large infrastructure damages will increase these estimates.[12] Public building damages are estimated at 1 billion USD.[12]

Taliban insurgency
The flood will divert Pakistani military forces from fighting the Pakistani Taliban insurgents (TTP) in the Northwest because they will be needed to help in the relief effort.[57] It is feared that this will allow Taliban fighters to regroup.[58] On the other hand, some are suggesting that by helping flood victims, the US has an opportunity to improve its image.[59] The Pakistani Taliban have also engaged in relief efforts and are making inroads where the government is absent or seen as corrupt.[60] As the flood may have dislodged many property markers, it is feared that governmental delay and corruption will give an advantage to the Taliban to settle these disputes swiftly.[60] A Taliban spokesperson asked the Pakistani government to reject Western help from "Christians and Jews" and claimed that the Taliban could raise $20 million to replace that aid.[60] [61] According to an US official the TTP had issued a threat saying that it will launch attacks against foreigners participating in flood relief operations.[62] In response, the United Nations said it was reviewing security arrangements for its workers. The World Health Organization stated that work in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was already suffering because of the security concerns there.[63] However, an unverified Taliban spokesperson based in Orakzai told The Express Tribune: “We have not issued any such threat; and we don’t have any plans to attack relief workers."[64] Reportedly three American Christians were killed by the Taliban on August 25 in the Swat Valley.[65]

Political effects
Floods have been theorized to have future political consequences mostly due to public perception of governance inefficacies and it has been said that if the situation is not adequately addressed specially with fight against terrorism going on in Pakistan, it might lead to future political unrest. These political effects of the floods have been compared with that of 1970 Bhola cyclone.[66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71]

Economic effects
On 7 September 2010, the International Labour Organization reported that more than 5.3 million jobs have been lost due to the floods, emphasizing that "productive and labor intensive job creation programmes are urgently needed to lift millions of people out of poverty that has been aggravated by flood damage".[72] [73] [74] The GDP growth rate of 4% prior to the floods may turn negative with the estimates ranging from -2% to -5% of GDP. Though the GDP

2010 Pakistan floods growth may improve in 2011 and beyond, it will be several years before it can return to the 4% level of 2009. The loss of crops will hit the textile manufacturing which is the largest export sector of Pakistan. Furthermore, the loss of over 10 million heads of livestock's along with the loss of other crops will bring down the total agricultural production by more than 15%. Toyota and Unilever Pakistan have said that the floods may sap growth, necessitating production cuts as people struggle to cope with the destruction. Parvez Ghias the chief executive of Pakistan's largest motor automaker Toyota described the economy's state as "fragile". Nationwide car sales are predicted to fall as much as 25%, forcing automakers to reduce production in October 2010 from the pre-flood level of 200 cars per day. The milk supplies have also fallen by 15%, which will cause the retail price of milk to increase by Pk Rs 4 (5 US cents) per liter. Some investors have started to buy the devalued stock in the hope that they will rise again.[75] [76] [77]

Relief efforts
Pakistan has appealed to international donors for help in responding to the disaster.[78] Twenty-one helicopters and 150 boats were pressed into service to assist the affected people according to the National Disaster Management Authority of [79] Pakistan. The US embassy in Pakistan provided seven helicopters to the authorities to assist in relief-operations.[80] The United Nations also launched relief efforts.[27] It appealed for $460 million to provide immediate help, including food, shelter and clean water. UN Secretary-General Ban A bridge damaged by the flooding Ki-moon visited Pakistan on 15 August to oversee and discuss the relief efforts.[45] [46] A Pakistani army spokesman said that troops had been deployed in all affected areas and had rescued thousands of people.[30] Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani visited the province and directed the Pakistan Navy to help evacuate the flood-victims.[81] By early August, more than 352,291 people have been rescued.[33] According to the Relief web Financial Tracking service, total donations worldwide for humanitarian assistance so far come to $687 million, with a further $324 million promised in uncommitted pledges, as of August 27, 2010.[82] By the end of August the Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) stated that Muslim countries, organizations and individuals had pledged close to $1 billion to assist in Pakistan’s flood emergency.[83] This statement is placed in doubt by findings from the U.N. Financial Tracking Service that indicate that only 3 of 56 OIC’s member states - Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Kuwait - had pledged more than single digit millions.[83] Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani stated that by the end of August Saudi Arabia's support exceeded that of the US, yet both UN data and data from Pakistan's Disaster Management Authority fail to support this claim.[83] Sun Charity USA is one of the private relief outfits active in Pakistan.[84] Merchandise supporting the flood relief efforts is available through zazzle.com/pkflood benefiting UNICEF in Pakistan.

Criticism of response
The Pakistani government was blamed for sluggish and disorganized response to the floods.[273] The perceived disorganized and insufficient response led to instances of riots, with attacks and looting of aid convoys by hunger-stricken people.[274] The lack of a unified government response allowed Islamic groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaat-e-Islami to supply aid with minimal resistance.[275] [276] President Asif Ali Zardari was also criticized for going ahead with visits to meet leaders in Britain and France at a time when his nation was facing catastrophe.[277] [278] In Sindh, the ruling Pakistan People's Party ministers were accused of using their influence to direct flood waters off their crops while risking densely populated areas.[279] Pakistani ambassador for UN Abdullah Hussain Haroon called for an inquiry into allegations about rich landowners diverting water into unprotected villages to save their own crops.[280] The United Nations criticized the international community for responding slowly, despite the ferocity and magnitude of disaster. As of 9 August, only $45 million in aid had been committed, which is far less than usual for a natural disaster of this scale.[281] In an analysis of the response to the disaster, The Guardian said that there was a dire need of relief goods in the immediate aftermath of the floods. It quoted the UN's humanitarian affairs coordination office, saying that "[s]ix million [of the 14 million affected] are children and 3 million women of child-bearing age. This is a higher figure than in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami."[282] An analysis by AP's correspondent, Nahal Toosi, suggested that a number of factors account for the inadequate international response: namely, the low death toll, the protracted unfolding of the extent of the catastrophe, the lack of celebrity involvement, the impression that the government is not focused on the event, and a certain donor fatigue, perhaps more so as Pakistan had been receiving support before.[283] British Prime Minister David Cameron was accused by Pakistan of hampering international aid efforts after he claimed that Pakistan was responsible for promoting terrorism.[284] [285]

Neglect of minorities
It has been reported that members of Pakistan's Ahmadiyya Muslim community, who were caught up in floods in Muzaffargarh, were not rescued from their homes because rescuers felt that Muslims must be given priority. Ahmadi Muslims complained to the government that not only were they not rescued but in some instances ejected from relief camps when their identity was disclosed. Ahmadis were declared a non-Muslim minority in 1974 by the Pakistani government, which prohibited them from 'posing as Muslims', and have faced continued persecution.[286] [287] The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan condemned the denial of relief to Ahmadis.[288] It also stated, “The commission has noted with concern reports of lack of provision of relief goods to flood-affected Ahmadi families, expulsion of displaced Ahmadis from a government school in Dera Ghazi Khan and rented lodgings elsewhere in southern Punjab after clerics’ pressure as well as issuance of edicts by clerics that affected Ahmadis must not be provided help."[289] Members of the Sikh community, who arrived in gurdwaras in Lahore, also complained of government apathy. They said members of their community were abandoned in Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa and had to arrange rescue for themselves.[286] In Peshawar the Sikh leaders accused the Government of Pakistan of not helping them after the floods swept away their homes and businesses and threatened to protest lack of assistance by the Government.[290]

2010 Pakistan floods Protests broke out in Lyari relief camp after Hindu victims of Baagri and Waghari nomadic tribes were served beef by the authorities in violation of their religious beliefs, which forbid consumption of beef. The situation was resolved after officials from minority affairs ministry intervened.[291] [292]

Inequality
Abdullah Hussain Haroon, Pakistan's diplomat to the United Nations, has alleged that wealthy feudal warlords and landowners in Pakistan have been diverting funds and resources away from the poor and into their own private relief efforts.[293] Haroon also alluded to was evidence that landowners had allowed embankments to burst, leading to water flowing away from their land.[294] There are also allegations that local authorities colluded with the warlords to divert funds.[295] The floods have accentuated the sharp divisions in Pakistan between the wealthy and the poor. The wealthy, with better access to transportation and other facilities, have suffered far less than the poor of Pakistan.[296]
