Friends,
As you are already aware of the natural catastrophic disaster occurred in Pakistan in recent month. Disaster on this scale would be devastating for any country, but for Pakistan – a developing nation, chronically unstable due to fight against terrorism - the consequences may go well beyond those posed by the urgent need for humanitarian relief and for reconstruction in the longer term. So far, approximately 2000 people are believed to have died and millions have made homeless. UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that 13.8 million people have been affected by the floods, making this a greater catastrophe than the Kashmir earthquake of 2005, or the Haiti earthquake of earlier this year, each of which affected 3 million people, or the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which affected 5 million. People of Pakistan are fighting the battle against nature on its own but this can’t be fought without international help that’s why UN chief Ban Ki-moon has urged the world to urgently speed up aid but the international response was very slow. We fear we're getting close to the start of seeing a second wave of death if not enough money comes through, due to water-borne diseases along with lack of clean water and food shortages The damage and the magnitude is too large for natural resources to cope with it ... Pakistan needs your help. Friends, If anyone requires any more information in this regard or would like to donate can unicast me.
