My dear friends, I turn to you when I’m desperate. I just got back from Pakistan cutting short a Reality TV shoot up in Northern Pakistan where I witnessed the destructive force of nature at close quarters. The devastation is unprescedented. This is a crisis for the whole humanity which if not dealt with properly by the citizens of the world will have far reaching spiritual, political and economic repercussions. I beg you to help.
A GREAT HUMANITARIAN CRISIS: FLOODS IN PAKISTAN
Pakistan disaster is the worst in the UN’s history. The United Nations has rated the floods in Pakistan as the greatest humanitarian crisis in recent history with more people affected than the South-East Asian tsunami and the recent earthquakes in Kashmir and Haiti combined. Maurizio Giuliano, a spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said: “This disaster is worse than the tsunami, the 2005 Pakistan earthquake and the Haiti earthquake.” The comparison illustrates the scale of the crisis facing Pakistan as its inefficient and corrupt bureaucracy battles to mitigate the effects of the flooding. The disaster zone stretches from the Swat Valley in the north, where 600,000 people are in need of help, to Sindh in the south. Billions of pounds will be needed to rebuild affected areas but western nations have pledged only tens of millions in aid. Radical Islamic groups are jockeying to fill the vacuum left by government incompetence and relative international indifference.
CLEAN DRINKING WATER IS AN IMMEDIATE NEED. PEOPLE CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT FOOD AND SHELTER BUT NOT WITHOUT WATER. BEING FORCED TO DRINK CONTAMINATED WATER OPENS UP MYRIAD OF WATER-BORNE ILLNESSES WHICH CAN TURN THISINTO AN EPIDEMIC. PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY TO HELP US PROVIDE LIFESAVER JERRYCANS WITH BUILT-IN FILTRATION SYSTEM WHICH MAKES ANY WATER SOURCE DRINKABLE
LIFESAVER jerrycan is the ideal solution for the provision of water in humanitarian disasters like the Haiti Earthquake and Pakistan Floods.
