Water is life

Oxfam is renowned worldwide for its expertise in providing safe, clean water and sanitation fast in emergency situations. Needs don’t come any more basic. Get it right, and lives are saved. Get it wrong, and diseases like diarrhoea and cholera spread fast. Here’s how we responded in 2005 when an earthquake hit northern Pakistan.
