Qatar Charity Announces Urgent Humanitarian Response for Devastated Pakistan

As the 2025 monsoon floods continue to wreak havoc across Pakistan, Qatar Charity (QC) has announced plans for an urgent humanitarian response to support families in the hardest-hit regions. The unprecedented destruction, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Punjab, Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir, and Sindh, has left thousands in desperate need. With the relentless rainfall since June 26 triggering flash floods, landslides, and widespread devastation, QC aims to ease the immediate challenges of displacement, food insecurity, and the loss of basic household necessities.
