The heavy rains between the 28th and 30th of July, 2010 caused devastating floods in Pakistan. Significant damages to human life, livestock and property have been reported, and over 21 million people are estimated to have been affected. Displacement, destruction of health facilities, poor living conditions, non availability of means of transport and disturbed communication networks are some of the factors that are adversely affecting the health of mothers, newborns and children in flood affected areas.

In response to the July 2010 flood, UNFPA is working in close partnership with National MNCH Program. To assist the flood affected districts, Humanitarian Support Team (HST) has been established.
