The situation of flood is still persistent and displacement of people from Kashmore, Jacobabad, Shikarpur, surrounding areas of Sukkur and Kacha area of Khairpur is going on; people in groups are travelling to Hyderabad, Karachi and to Khairpur city areas.

The camps are being established by district government within Government school premises in Khairpur city and small towns of various talukas.
In Khairpur, civil society organizations are mainly active and playing their useful role with a great enthusiasm and vigour. Since the Indus Resource Centre has adopted couple of relief camps at Govt. Boys Primary School Mori and Govt. Boys High School Bhurgri, the provision of food and non food items are being provided to Mori camp whereas these items are in process for Bhurghri camp.
