Donate $0.10 per view to Pakistan Floods 2010
According to rough estimates, the number of victims in Pakistan floods has reached 13.8 million. The floods in Pakistan, which have killed at least 1,200 people so far, are already the world’s second worst in the decade from 2001 to August 2010, according to the Belgium-based Centre for Research on Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED).
Floods in Pakistan have affected more people than those displaced in the 2005 Asian Tsunami and the deadly earthquakes in South Asia and Haiti combined, the United Nations said. The number of homes destroyed or seriously damaged is 290,000, it said. The U.N. will issue an appeal for several hundred million dollars of aid for Pakistan.
Please lend a hand to those in need. Your donations could make the lives of many Pakistanis better. As the Qur’an says:
“Whosoever kills a human being, except (as punishment) for murder or for spreading corruption in the land, it shall be like killing all humanity; and whosoever saves a life, saves the entire human race.” (Al Qur’an 5:32)
You can also donate on-line to ”The People’s Disaster Management Authority (TPDMA)“. Follow Nuzhat S. Siddiqui on twitter who is one of the volunteers heading these efforts. You can further contact them via e-mail:

“The flood and the devastation caused a very huge human catastrophe,” Safder Hussain Mehkri, a vice chairman of the Rice Exporters’ Association of Pakistan, said by phone today. “We need to rebuild the lives of these people.”
The relief efforts are on-going but still more aid is required. The world needs to realise how much devastation has been caused by these floods and how much suffering it has caused those who are now homeless, shelter-less and without supplies of basic necessities of life like pure, clean drinking water, food and clothing.
