Urgent Flood Relief Appeal – Punjab & Himachal Pradesh |
The flood situation across Punjab and Himachal Pradesh has turned into one of the most severe monsoon disasters in recent years. Relentless rains have triggered widespread flooding and landslides, submerging entire communities. Families have lost their homes, livelihoods, and—tragically—their loved ones. Local infrastructure and relief systems are overwhelmed, creating a deep humanitarian crisis. Impact In Punjab, over 2.56 lakh people across 12 districts are affected. More than 1,044 villages stand inundated, and 96,000+ hectares of farmland have been destroyed, causing massive crop losses. At least 29 lives have been lost, with thousands displaced into relief camps. In Himachal Pradesh, the destruction has been even more severe—over 300 deaths, 819 roads blocked, 1,280 homes destroyed, and 35,000 livestock lost, with damages estimated at ₹3,560 crore. Essential services like power, water supply, and transport have been crippled. Sewa International Planning Sewa International is on the ground—responding swiftly. Our volunteers are distributing food packets, clean drinking water, medical kits, and shelter materials. Relief camps are active, and rescue efforts continue with the support of NDRF, Army, BSF, and Air Force. However, the scale of devastation is enormous, and immediate support is needed to reach every affected family. Our two-phase response strategy ensures both emergency relief and long-term recovery: Phase 1 – Immediate Relief: Food distribution, safe drinking water, tarpaulins, tents, blankets, and medical assistance through mobile health units. Phase 2 – Recovery & Rehabilitation: Crop recovery support, livelihood restoration for farmers and workers, rebuilding of homes, roads, schools, and water systems. Your support can make all the difference. A donation today will provide shelter kits for displaced families, ready-to-eat meals for the hungry, medical aid for the injured, and hope for farmers who have lost everything. Every contribution counts—every dollar brings dignity where there is despair. Together, let us stand with the people of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in this hour of need. | Goal: $50,000.00
