ACTION ALERT
August 24, 2010

 

We have been asked to forward this Kinder USA, International Blue Crescent (IBC) appeal for donations to the victims of the floods in Pakistan.

We thank our readers who responded to the appeal we sent ten days ago from the U.N. (to donate via their website www.UNrefugees.org or Text 'Swat' to 50555 to give $10 and help provide tents, blankets, and emergency aid to displaced families or mail checks to: USA for UNHCR, 1775 K Street, NW, Suite 290, Washington, DC 20006).

Pakistan's worst floods in recorded history began more than two weeks ago in the mountainous northwest and have spread throughout the country. Some 20 million people and 62,000 square miles of land - about one-fifth of the country - have been affected.  Years of low rainfall had left many farmers struggling on the edge of financial survival, and they now face the worst floods in generations.  Weeks after massive downpours first battered northern Pakistan, submerging tens of thousands of square miles of crops, over 1600 people have been killed and millions are homeless, as floodwaters continue to swell inflicting layer upon layer of misery to the population.
"Make no mistake, this is a global disaster," Ban Ki-Moon UN General Secretary said at the UN general assembly. "Pakistan is facing a slow-motion tsunami. Its destructive powers will accumulate and grow with time," he warned.
International Blue Crescent (IBC) and KinderUSA, long-time humanitarian partners who have been working in the region since the 2005 earthquake, have submitted an urgent appeal for funding  focusing on the Muzaffargarh district located in the southern Punjab region.  It is reported as the worst affected where more than 700,000 people have been displaced and hundreds of villages destroyed.  Children, women, and the elderly continue to be the most vulnerable in this catastrophic nightmare.
Food, water, hygiene products and shelter are in the greatest need with many families stranded in uninhabitable structures awaiting aid.  IBC has opened an office in Muzaffargarh with an initial three month commitment in partnership with  KinderUSA focusing on 1000 displaced families.  Funding permitted, our goal is to distribute hygiene kits, dried food packages, and bedding items.
"I am deeply saddened by the loss of life and the magnitude of this humanitarian castastrophe.  Many children have lost one or both of their parents and every day that passes they become more vulnerable to disease and malnutrition.  I urgently appeal to all of our donors to respond," Dr. Laila Al-Marayati, Chairperson KinderUSA.
We are appealing to the generosity of all donors during this crisis to come forward and donate $500, $250, $100, or whatever you can give to help these families who have lost everything.
