Help victims of flood in Pakistan

While assistance is being provided to hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis affected by what has been called Pakistan's worst flooding in living memory, the United Nations humanitarian wing says the relief operation needs to be massively scaled up.

According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs more than 14 million people – almost one in every 10 Pakistanis – have so far been affected by the flooding, which began late last month in the wake of heavy monsoon rains.

More than 1,200 people have been killed, and at least 2 million left homeless, by the disaster which has also destroyed homes, farmland and major infrastructure in large parts of the country, most notably the north-west province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK).

This is an appeal to all generally, and specifically for Pakistanis home and abroad, to come forward and help the needy people. If you have any doubts on the credibility of present regime, you can donate to NGO's and if possible to Pakistan Army's following Account:

Account No.:   0028-01-012-1825-8
Bank:               Askari Bank Limited, GHQ Branch, Rawalpindi, Pakistan
Swift Code:     ASCMPKKA


Please do come forward. Don't think much, we are short of time already.
