Subject: [saharo] File - Save and help victims of flood in Pakistan
The devastating flood in Pakistan had destroyed more than half of the economy of the country.The country which was already facing several other crises including terrorism,poverty,corruption,illiteracy has now hit by another challenge in the form of flood.At this crucial time ,the world has pledge to help Pakistan in any form .
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived in Pakistan on Sunday August 16 2010 to boost relief efforts as concerns grew about the 20 million people made homeless in one of the worst disasters to hit the country.
Authorities said more flood surges were coursing down the River Indus and other waterways in southern Sindh province and were expected to peak later Sunday, causing fresh deluges. The river, which in better times irrigates the crops of millions of farmers, is 15 miles (25 kilometers) wide at some points — 25 times wider than during normal monsoon seasons.
The United Nations said the rate of diarrheal disease continued to increase among survivors. Cholera, which can spread rapidly after floods and other disasters, had also been detected in the northwest, where the floods first hit more than two weeks ago.
About 1,500 people have died in the disaster and more than 7.9 million acres (3.2 million hectares) of cotton, sugar cane and wheat crops destroyed.
Before anything else, the direness of much of Pakistani life requires acknowledgement. Most of the affected areas were catastrophes long before the floods arrived: their major socio-economic indicators -- the literacy rate, school enrollment rate, and child mortality rate -- were already abysmal. The poverty in some parts of southern Punjab, for example, stood at 55 percent before the floods.
In Pakistan, an estimated 3 million victims of the worst floods in 80 years are searching for hope. Hundreds of thousands have lost their homes, drinking water is filthy and contaminated, and food is scarce. One look at the devastating images of men and women walking through brown water up to their chests makes all of us feel grateful for our comfortable — and dry — homes.
This is a humanitarian crisis, and one should really not consider the nationality of the families dieing due to such a crisis. It is so unfortunate that people are considering.
Appeal by the Secretary-General of the United Nations
The 2010 Humanitarian Appeal contains strategic humanitarian action plans for 12 of the world's most severe crises. It is the culmination of an extensive process of analysis and planning involving hundreds of aid organizations, affected governments, donors and other stakeholders across the world.
The global recession has raised inevitable concerns that humanitarian funding may decline in 2010. I urge Member States and private donors to keep that from happening. Next year's will be at least as great as in 2009, as we continue to cope with climate-related disasters and the conflicts which cause so much human distress.
The international humanitarian system is designed to help governments help their own people. Even the largest and most powerful countries sometimes see a useful role for specialized help from friends and neighbours, fully coordinated with the national response. It is a sign of responsibility to call for such help when needed, and to accept it when offered.
Indeed, Member States should not be thought of as either "donors" or "recipients". A growing number of Member States which have turned to friends for help in past disasters are today in a position to offer help and to support international humanitarian aid in its many forms. Such a broadening of substantive support for relief efforts is crucial as the world responds to rising humanitarian needs.
Recent tragic events have shown that we cannot take the safety of aid workers for granted, and that humanitarian personnel are not always allowed the free access to affected civilians that they need to deliver life-saving aid. We must reinforce respect for the neutrality of humanitarians.
On behalf of 48 million people in 25 countries needing urgent help, and on behalf of the 380 organizations that have come together to devise these plans, I appeal for 7.1 billion US dollars to be provided without delay and as a common sense investment in global stability and well-being. Our aim is to help people survive the coming year, and start working their way out of vulnerability towards the dignity, safety and self-sufficiency to which every human being has a right.
Ban Ki-moon
