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
ATP’s front page is so depressing today, even by pakistan standards. Every story is a story of death and destruction. kiya ho gaya humaray chaman ko!
Yeh sabb hamarey gunahoun ka nateeja hai. Jaisa karo gay, waisa bharro gay.
Thank you, Prof. Najam, for pushing on this story and for setting an example of what we all can do in whatever way we can. This is something on which each one of us can help in some small way. I am inspired by your gesture.
Thank you ATP, for once again showing the way. You guys always rise to the occasion when all everyone else does is to talk.
Is there a way we can contribute to your collection too. What is the best way and place to send relief money to?
I hear the worst is in Swat. What a horrible thing to happen to these people after all they have been through recently.
