Pakistan Flood | Banjir di Pakistan
Severe and prolonged rainfall has triggered devastating floods across Pakistan, with Punjab among the worst affected. Since 26 June, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has reported over 170 fatalities, including at least 85 children.
Critical infrastructure, particularly roads linking rural communities, has been severely damaged, cutting off access to many areas. Several districts have been declared under a state of emergency, with over 15,000 rescue personnel and 800 boats mobilised to support affected populations.
MERCY Malaysia has been providing humanitarian assistance in Pakistan since the Bagh earthquake in 2005. We continue to monitor the situation closely, with a focus on safeguarding children at risk of drowning, waterborne diseases, and malnutrition.

Did you know that nearly 10 million children in Pakistan are stunted due to malnutrition?
Poor nutrition isn’t just about hunger. It affects a child’s ability to grow, learn, and fight off diseases. Without the right nutrition at the right time, especially in the first years of life, the cycle of poor health and poverty can continue for generations.
Yet in Pakistan, only 38 per cent of children are exclusively breastfed for the first five years of life. Even more concerning, 8 out of 10 children are not eating the right types or quantities of food to support healthy growth, leaving many malnourished and vulnerable to stunting, a condition caused by chronic malnutrition that limits physical and cognitive development.
At MERCY Malaysia, we believe that every child has the right to adequate nutrition and the chance to reach their full potential. Through our Nutrition Programme in Pakistan, we are working to support child survival, health, and development — starting with the most vulnerable.
We are actively monitoring the situation and scaling up efforts to deliver life-saving nutrition interventions for children at risk.
Together, we can help break the cycle of malnutrition. Let’s ensure every child has the nourishment they need to grow, learn, and thrive.

Courtesy Visit by the Minister of Planning and International Cooperation of the State of Palestine and the Ambassador of Palestine to Malaysia to MERCY Malaysia
MERCY Malaysia welcomed H.E. Dr. Estephan Salameh, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation of the State of Palestine, and H.E. Ambassador Walid Abu Ali, Ambassador of Palestine to Malaysia, accompanied by senior officials from the Ministry and the Embassy.
The visit served as a timely platform for in-depth dialogue on the humanitarian situation in Gaza and MERCY Malaysia’s ongoing response efforts. Discussions reaffirmed the imperative of principled humanitarian action, grounded in international humanitarian law, and the collective responsibility to safeguard access to affected populations.
The delegation emphasised that the struggle of the Palestinian people must not be viewed through a religious lens. It is a legitimate pursuit of national rights, resistance against prolonged occupation, and a call for freedom, justice, and self-determination in accordance with international law.
The protracted occupation in Gaza was further underscored, with calls for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, the restoration of sustained humanitarian access, and a path towards lasting peace, justice, and protection for civilians.
The Palestinian delegation also extended its heartfelt appreciation to the people of Malaysia for their continued solidarity and support toward the Palestinian cause.
MERCY Malaysia remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering needs-based assistance in full adherence to international humanitarian law and will continue working in close coordination with the Palestinian people and the broader humanitarian community to ensure a dignified and effective response.
