Press Release:
UN-HABITAT commemorates one-year anniversary of floods with photo exhibition.
Islamabad, July 30th- UN-HABITAT organized a photo exhibition commemorating the one-year anniversary of the 2010 super floods. The exhibition was a tribute to the beneficiaries of the on-going projects of UN-HABITAT in the 20 most flood affected districts of Pakistan. United Nations Special Envoy, Mr. Rauf Soysal attended the exhibition with his wife.
UN-HABITAT flood relief interventions are targeted towards rehabilitating almost 250,000 people through an integrated approach of one-room shelters, hygiene, sanitation and water schemes and community infrastructure works. One year after the floods, work is underway in 422 villages with the support of the Government of Japan and in 64 villages with the support of DFID.
UN-HABITAT Country Programme Manager, Mr. Siamak Moghaddam thanked the donor community, especially DFID and the Government of Japan, whose generous contributions have funded UN-HABITATs flood relief project interventions. He stressed on the need to make communities more resilient through proper training and participation so they could build back safer and better.
Activities marking the one-year flood anniversary began with a field trip to village Qasba Gujrat, Muzaffargarh facilitating Special Envoy Soysal to the project sites. He said that, " This project, that UN-HABITAT is running with great success, is giving high morale, energy, and self-confidence to the communities. It is not about assistance, but it is more about building together better structures and better constructions with the people. The ownership and the leadership of the community are what struck me the most."
