This summer extreme heat followed by the well documented, severe monsoon floods, left large parts of Pakistan under water.

This caused widespread devastation to the agricultural sector, especially in the southern parts of the country where Fr. Liam is based. Villages were washed away leaving around 3.4 million children in need of assistance and at increased risk of waterborne diseases, drowning and malnutrition.

The situation is still critical in the worst affected areas due to the flooding from the overflowing River Indus and Lake Manchhar.

This webinar event is an initiative of the Diocesan Justice Peace and Integrity of Creation Committee and Fr. Liam coordinates the Justice Peace and Integrity of Creation group in Pakistan.

The theme for Mission Month is: You will be my witnesses and Mission Sunday is celebrated all around the world on the 23rd of October.
