Message from Karachi Student Welfare Forum:
This disaster is worse than the Haiti Earthquake and Tsunami. Massive floods in Sindh in August have created unprecedented damage to all the peoples of Sindh. The UN estimates the total number of affected people to be 14 million. The province of Sindh, being at the lower riparian of the Indus River and having the worst poverty index in the region, is in dire need of relief. Still two waves are entering Sindh and after that more people will be displaced. Lets help poor people.

Message from Balochistan Volunteers Foundation:
The floods started in Barkhan on the 21st of July, 2010. Barkhan district is now 100% destroyed. There is no place to shelter from the deadly floods and there is no clean drinking water or medical facilities in the flood-affected areas. People are hungry and without shelter. In Kohlu district, on July 22, 2010, a flash flood did major damage to 30 villages. 20 villages are partially damaged. Flooding rains continue and are spreadin/have spread to Sibi, Loralai, Zohb, Harnai, Naseerabad, Jaffarabad, etc.

After flooding Jacobabad of Sindh, the waters are once again inundating the Jaffarabad side which is already suffering from previous flood waters. Women and children are on the roadsides with no shade, no shelter and no food.

We will be trying to help the displaced people in Balochistan's flood-affected areas, especially those from the destroyed areas of Jaffarabad and Naseerabad. For this we need your generous help. Thank you, Parveen Naz, Manager.
