Belgium EU based Institute of Peace and Development (INSPAD) said that flood damages in Pakistan are unrecoverable. World community standup to help 200 millions populations, who are still sitting under nude sky without food, medicines and shelter. Post-flood diseases, loses and damages cannot be estimated yet. It is a disaster worse than Tsunami for poor majority.

The affected areas urgently need food, clean drinking water, cloths and essential using items and also cash help to go back homes. Six thousands villages and 400 thousands animals were killed, and 31 lakh Acers agricultural land has been destroyed; above all, 70 lakh peoples left their homes and lost everything in the flood. What did it do the Pakistani government? Not much or at least not well enough.

INSPAD directors said civil society organizations are working jointly to collecting donations, relief items, goods and medicines in many areas. The ruler, however, have not shown any deep sympathetic concern yet, since flying over the hard-hit areas does not benefit the effected population. Flood areas need practical help and solution urgently. It’s a biggest tragic migration in the history.
