By way of background on this area, on September 15th 2010, there was a breach in the bund of Manchar Lake inundating approximately 100sq km land between Bhan Saeedabad and Sehwan Sharif. There were 19 small villages inhabited by approximately 350,000 to 400,000 people that were affected by this breach in Manchar Lake. The advance flood warnings enabled Pakistan Army to evacuate majority of the population towards higher safe areas of Dadu, Bhan Saeedabad and Sehwan Sharif. Even with after the evacuation services done by the Pakistan Army, there were around 10,000 people who were unable to leave their villages and move to these safe areas. After the Manchar Lake breach the 100 sq km area is under approximately 6ft to 8ft of water which is flowing from the tail of Talti area into the Indus river at a very slow pace. On September 23rd 2010, I along with my brothers left Karachi with relief donations for the flood affectees of Sehwan tehsil. We managed to gather approximately Rs. 1 Million in donation from family and friends to purchase and distribute dry ration amongst the flood affected people in the area. We managed to get 500 bags of dry ration containing flour, rice, sugar, salt, tea, milk, biscuits, juices, lentils, cooking oil, dry spices and soaps from Bhan Saeedabad. Each bag was enough to feed a family of six people for at least two weeks. On arrival at the Bhan Saeedabad border we realized that there was no possible way to reach the flood affectees via road and all transportation was being routed via small passenger boats. We contacted the Army unit that set base in the area and was providing medical assistance and ferry services to the people still inhabiting the 19 villages within that 100 sq km flood impacted area. Our preparation was done on the estimate of approximately 3000 to 4000 people, but the briefing that I got from the commanding officer of the Army unit based in the area, I realized that the actual number was much greater than we anticipated. I would like to commend the untiring support given to us by all the officers of the Pakistan Army unit based there, for providing their boats and also arranging for additional boats to transport the dry ration to the flood affected people. In the three day activity we managed to distribute the 500 dry ration bags catering to 3000 people in 6 villages. As per the information gathered from the CO of Pakistan Army unit, we were the first relief team who has actually went into the villages to distribute relief items in the impacted area.  This was the first phase of our operation and we managed to only cater to 30% of the total population that requires dry ration for survival. We will be starting phase 2 of our operation in 2 weeks during which we will be requiring donations to arrange for dry ration for the remaining 70% of the flood affectees in the area. Hopefully within this time the water level would have receded and the number of affectees would have gone down as well. The story does not end here for these people; they require our support in re-building whatever small infrastructure they had before the floods to provide shelter for themselves and their families. The main source of income for these people is from agriculture and it will take at least another 3-4 months for these lands to be suitable for cultivation and have a new beginning towards a normal life.
