Since the rains started in mid-June, more than 1,400 people have died in Pakistan. The UN estimates that one million homes have been destroyed. 

Sherry Rahman, Pakistan\u2019s climate minister, told BBC News that it is the heaviest recorded rainfall in ten years and more than a third of the country is completely under water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching 1,000 families<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Qaiser is the Director <\/strong>of Open Theological Seminary<\/strong><\/a> (OTS) in Lahore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the height of the pandemic, OTS delivered practical aid to 3,000 vulnerable families through its \u2018compassion\u2019 arm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, OTS is aiming to reach 1,000 families with food packs, mosquito nets and hygiene kits during the first phase. Distribution has already begun in Sindh and Southern Punjab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qaiser and his wife <\/strong>have also been visiting those affected by the floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please pray<\/h2>\n\n\n
