Pakistan Floods 2010

On 2 August 2010, the Singapore Red Cross was amongst the first National Societies to respond with an initial donation of US$100,000 (or SGD $136,623), for emergency relief efforts in Pakistan's flood-ravaged northwest.

The humanitarian society launched a public appeal shortly after, which raised $1,686,769. Part of that went to the purchase of 260 tonnes of family food packs, for distribution to survivors through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. Each family food pack comprised wheat flour, rice, lentil, cooking oil / ghee, sugar, tea and salt, good for a family of seven for a month. The Singapore Red Cross also bought 8,000 pieces of high quality tarpaulin sheets, which were used as temporary shelters by the survivors whose homes have been washed away by the torrents. Christopher Chua and Lim Theam Poh, respectively Secretary General and Director of Operations of Singapore Red Cross, visited Pakistan in September 2010 to handover these items to the flood survivors via Pakistan Red Crescent Society.
