Due to security concerns, the site for the warehouse in Karachi has been changed. For the new site, redesigning of the warehouse drawing is required and extension for a long term lease is being processed. An extension until 31 December 2010 is sought for this emergency appeal to be able to complete the construction of the warehouse.

This emergency appeal was first launched in July 2007 to support the vulnerable communities affected by the Cyclone Yemyin/floods in Sindh and Baluchistan. In 2008, the appeal entered its recovery and rehabilitation phase, focusing towards long-term developmental work in the two affected provinces, through community based disaster risk management; basic health care and capacity building of the national society. The recovery activities under this appeal were implemented through an integrated programme approach (IPA).

Community based disaster risk management and basic health care and capacity building components have been closed down since June 2009. Only one activity (construction of warehouse at PRCS Sindh provincial branch) is remaining to be completed.

To date, contributions to this appeal have been received from American Red Cross, Australian Red Cross/Australian government, Austrian Red Cross, British Red Cross/British government, Canadian Red Cross/Canadian government, Hong Kong Branch of the Red Cross Society of China, Czech Red Cross, Danish Red Cross/Danish government, Finnish Red Cross, German Red Cross, Icelandic Red Cross, Irish Red Cross/Irish government, Japanese Red Cross, the Republic of Korea Red Cross, Lichtenstein Red Cross, Monaco Red Cross, Netherlands Red Cross/Netherlands government, New Zealand Red Cross, Norwegian Red Cross/Norwegian government, Singapore Red Cross/Singapore government, Spanish Red Cross, Swedish Red Cross/Swedish government, Swiss Red Cross, Taiwan Red Cross Organization, Italian government, OPEC and the United Arab Emirates Red Crescent.
