Adil Najam
The waters continue to rise. And so does the death toll. The number for today is at least 417, and in all certainty more. That that is just for Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa. All provinces and all parts of Pakistan are hit.
ATP will be sending all of its revenue to relief agencies working with the poor hit by these flood. We urge our readers to do the same.
More details on this calamity here; and a pictorial post of the misery it has brought, here.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
First there wasn't enough water to even drink and now these floods. :(
On a lighter note, some people have initiated this thing where they are trying to get a Google Doodle on google.com.pk for the 14th of August. :)
