The summer of 2010 has been one of the worse summer’s for Pakistan as this has been their worse flooding situation in 80 years.
On August 14th, Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said, in a televised address, that 20 million people, about one-ninth of the population, had been displaced by the disaster.
The BBC reported that, “flooding began on July 22 in the province of Baluchistan,” which then leaked into the, “the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province in the northwest before flowing south into Punjab and Sindh.”
Due to the flood death toll estimates reached from 1,300 to 1,600.
Since these horrific floods have devastates Pakistan, numerous nations from across the world have been sending out their own stream of announcements stating how they are going to help the nation and its victims.
Honestly though, from where and whom is the aid coming from? We question this important aspect because after the aftermath of January’s earthquake in Haiti, more victims were saved and pulled from rubble by neighboring Haitians and later by the “publicized” international rescue teams.
And it’s because of such actions that people knew that the same was to happen in Pakistan. And sadly, it has happened. The BBC has also reported that, “The Red Cross, for example, has supported the Pakistani Red Crescent in assisting about 300,000 flood victims.”
