Six months into the floods. Resetting Pakistan’s priorities through reconstruction

The monsoon floods that began in Pakistan in July 2010 caused a
colossal disaster. Thanks to the collective efforts of the Pakistani
Government, UN agencies, international NGOs, and local relief
organisations, the response has achieved major successes and seen
millions of Pakistanis receive vital emergency relief. However, the
disaster is not over and many people still need humanitarian assistance.
Ongoing emergency relief is just the first step in rebuilding devastated
communities. A nationally-led, pro-poor reconstruction programme is
needed now to create a path of sustainable development leading to a
fairer and more disaster-resilient Pakistan.
