رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ 

Our Lord, Accept this from us; You are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing

Monsoon rains have caused devastating floods in Pakistan, leaving millions homeless, destroying buildings, bridges and roads and leaving vast swathes of the country under water.

Many parts of Pakistan have become inaccessible, and rescuers are struggling to evacuate thousands of stranded people from affected areas. Flash floods and landslides along the Indus and Kabul rivers have left more than 1,000 dead and 1,600 injured – with the southern districts of Balochistan and Sindh worst-affected.

We have a wide range of support services that are available to you – please do take advantage of these offers and take care of your health and wellbeing.

  • The NHS People offer – There are several confidential support helplines, apps and other useful tools to support your health and wellbeing, hosted on the NHS People website.
  • Mental Health First Aiders – Each NHS organisation hosts Mental Health First Aiders. If you would like to talk to someone at your workplace, please do ask your line manager or a member of HR for their contact details.
