EU announces €1.05m in emergency aid for Pakistan flood victims

The European Union (EU) has announced emergency humanitarian assistance worth nearly 350 million PKR (€1.05 million) to support victims of devastating flash floods across Pakistan.

The floods, triggered by intense monsoon rains, have claimed hundreds of lives, with many more people still missing and thousands displaced. Extending condolences to the families of the victims, the EU reaffirmed its commitment to stand in solidarity with Pakistan during this crisis.

According to the EU, the funding will be provided through trusted humanitarian partner organisations and will focus on urgent needs in the hardest-hit areas.

The assistance package will cover life-saving health services for the injured and vulnerable, while also supporting water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities to prevent the outbreak of diseases. In addition, cash assistance will be given to help affected families meet their essential needs during the recovery process.

EU officials stressed that the aid is aimed not only at addressing immediate humanitarian requirements but also at preventing secondary disasters such as disease outbreaks. The announcement comes as rescue and relief operations continue in multiple provinces, where heavy rains have damaged homes, crops, and infrastructure, further deepening the crisis for thousands of families.
