UN-affiliated NGO United Sikhs has rushed relief supplies for flood victims in Pakistan's Charsadda district where thousands of people and livestock were badly hit.

Local Sikh volunteers of United Sikhs have set up a camp to move flood-affected families to safe areas and provide them with food, water, and other immediate supplies.

So far, floods in Pakistan have claimed 1,634 lives and damaged nearly 10,000 homes, 149 bridges and 3,451 km of roads as per the latest report of National Disaster Management Authority.

United Sikhs volunteer, Sagarjeet Singh, who is a member of Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, said incessant floods collapsed the roof of Gurdwara at Shikarpur Singh, killing people and destroying the entire building.
