Abstract
Drought in Balochistan has remained an overwhelming natural disaster that affected every sector of life. Nushki is amongst the most affected areas and people continue to suffer from drought. This study has been carried out for assessing the effects of drought on pastoralists of district Nushki, Balochistan. For this purpose, both primary and secondary data were used for this study. The findings of the present study illustrated that the drought is extremely affecting communities. Animals became malnourished and many perished. Many sold their domesticated animals on low costs and relocation likewise happened. On the light of the study results, it has been suggested that the government should organize veterinary camps in affected areas, provide fodder for livestock and take mitigation measures to minimize drought impacts
