NAZARABAD is a small village located near Tump in Kech district. This hamlet has been badly affected by a catastrophic flood in March this year.

Ever since the disaster, its people are living in abject misery. The villagers have not only lost their homes but their crops and cattle, thus they have no means of sustenance.

The district and provincial authorities have not provided any assistance to the villagers to rebuild their lives. This is a request to Balochistan government authorities to take notice of the villagers’ difficulties and provide assistance for their recovery.
