The current flood disaster of Pakistan has been so great that all superlatives of language have already been used. Therefore I am choosing the photo medium here as it may be better than writing thousand more words. As with other natural disasters, flood affected children in Pakistan are especially vulnerable and need our attention.

Nowshera, Pakistan.

Sharing food in a flood relief camp.

Transporting flood affectees to the camps.

Following photo is from Chakra Goth which is a camp for flood affectees outside Karachi. It was published in today’s Jang newspaper.

In an earlier post here Adil Najam and our readers have mentioned several good ways of helping the flood victims of Pakistan. I want to add worldvision.org to the list – as they especially work for child welfare besides general humanitarian work.

    If children are future of Pakistan, why were those teenagers in Siakot brutually beaten and murdered and their corpses were hanged upside down in broad daylight. One of the themwas a hafiz…and this was done in presence of police. The same police that was glorified in this blog.

    If this was the Talibans, we can see columns after columns describing their burtality but the truth is we as a society have become total crackpots. Perhaps the flood is natural way of ethinic cleasing.

    Another important topic. I just do not know how we will cope with this.

    Godo point raised here. It is not just health that is an immediate need but also the schools destroyed. Things were already bad and will now become worse for education.

    I think as we do whatever we can for relief, children should be a special priority, also for disease reasons.
