A Christian community in Sindh province, Pakistan is reeling from the devastating impact of recent flash flooding. The prolonged rains throughout the country have already claimed 159 lives, including many children. They have also caused significant damage, leaving families starving and homeless.
In Sindh the floods washed away the mud houses occupied by Christians at Khawaja Goth, a community that had previously survived the record-breaking floods of 2022. Despite its vulnerability, this community received no assistance from aid agencies or the Pakistani government.
The Christians at Khawaja Goth, who were already living in dire poverty, have lost everything and are now existing in makeshift tents. Local evangelist Prabhu Das described how their homes ‘collapsed from the relentless rain, forcing families to spend nights in the open air, shivering from the cold and wet weather’.
