Pakistan Update #11
To further help address the health issues in Pakistan, we are hoping to send two medical teams to work with our medical practitioners at Shikarpur Christian Hospital (SCH) in short-term blocks through mid-September to the end of October. If epidemics arise, they may need to be extended through November. Each team will need a male and female doctor (or provider), two nurses, as well as a team leader/coordinator, and a cook. The teams will be used for mobile m… Continue

Pakistan Update #10
Sindh Province
Sindh province, where Shikarpur Christian Hospital is located, is 35% under water affecting some eight million people. The total number of IDPs in the relief camps is around one million, with 800,000 living in open fields. There are four helicopters operating in Sindh, which is a UN priority because flooding is still active here.
The biggest problems that displace people in Pakistan are facing in right now are water, h

Pakistan Update #9
Just learned of the availability of NFI Kits (Non-Food Item packages that include such items as tarps, blankets, and hygiene, kitchen and medical supplies) in Sukkur, free for the taking and distributing. We’re hoping to somehow arrange for around 250-350 of these shipped to Hyderabad. There is a Muslim friend here, SS, also very active in relief work and intently focused on genuinely helping the needy, who is providing a place to store them till they can be distributed.… Continue

Pakistan Update #8
NN’s team didn’t do any pre-cooked food distribution today, but did distribute 111 ration packs. The army security folks that were providing them have moved on, so they are back on their own again. The shop owner that’s been providing rations gave the team 13 packs from his own personal side. “We trust you guys,” he said, “and know that you will give it to the needy rather than keeping it for yourselves like others.” His contribution was totally unsolicited. “Who are these… Continue

Pakistan Update #7
New Team Members Coming
We’ve had some tremendous encouragement, with some fresh hands coming to help here, including two medical workers from Canada, an American couple and a person from WorldVenture. We’ve been praying and wishing desperately for just someone like them to help spearhead a medical effort here. They plan to settle in this Saturday.

Pakistan Update #5
We spent yesterday and today at a "refugee camp" (it isn't an official one; the people just got dumped there by the highway.) The needs are so overwhelming, the pain is so great—basically every family lost husbands, children or wives, or have members separated from the rest of the family. Mostly it's women and children here, because the men stayed behind to try to save their animals.
It all feels so helpless, but I guess if we ca… Continue

Pakistan Update #4
Emergency supplies continue to be distributed at SCH, with large amounts of potatoes and rice prepared for the camp around a local hotel. Sixty-five families were served the first night, and last night 39 more families were asking for food, so approximately 560 people were fed. An unfortunate incident: the water tank on top of the van slid forward off the carrier rack, crunching the top of the vehicle as it exited the hospital gate, so only about ¼ t… Continue

Pakistan Update #3
The hospital has "adopted" a group of 65 families that have around 8 people per family (over 500 individuals), who are camped less than a mile from our gate. They have virtually nothing but the shirts on their backs. Last night our group worked until 11:30 after seeing patients in the hospital earlier in the day. There are other groups in the city that aren't getting fed yet, but we are using all the people we have so far with this first group. W… Continue
