Channel Architects & Engineers: Uniting in Flood Relief Efforts
Southern Punjab 12/09/2022 – As the devastating floods from June to October 2022 wreaked havoc in Pakistan, killing 1,739 people and causing over $14.9 billion in damages, the nation has come together to support those affected. Among the many organizations contributing to relief efforts, Channel Architects & Engineers, alongside families, friends, and other community members, have joined forces to provide aid and assistance to the victims in the hardest-hit areas.
On September 5th, 2022, Channel Architects & Engineers, together with family members, friends, and other community members, donated two truckloads of rations to flood-affected areas in Southern Punjab, specifically in the Rajanpur District. Qasim Khalid, along with his team, personally assisted in transporting the two trucks and distributing the rations to the people affected by the floods.

These floods, recognized as the worst in Pakistan’s history, resulted from heavier-than-usual monsoon rains and melting glaciers, both consequences of climate change. Consequently, Pakistan declared a state of emergency on August 25th. Despite contributing to less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Pakistan remains highly vulnerable to climate change.
During these challenging times, Channel Architects & Engineers, along with numerous empathetic community members, have come forward to offer assistance to those impacted by the floods. Their collective efforts, which include donating food rations and providing essential support, have positively affected the lives of the victims, reflecting the unity and generosity prevalent among the Pakistani people.
The collaborative response to this crisis highlights the resilience and strength of the Pakistani people, who have joined forces to rebuild their communities and assist one another. As the country moves forward with reconstruction efforts, the nation stands united in its determination to tackle the challenges imposed by the catastrophic floods and the ongoing threat of climate change
