In today’s GA meeting on Pakistan, the SG called the Pakistani floods a “slow-motion tsunami” and “one of the greatest tests of global solidarity”
These people are our brothers and sisters, they need our help. Screw the politics, screw the religion.. this is a call to our shared humanity, our sense of right and compassion.
People are suffering. People are dying.
It doesn't matter what religion they are, nor anything else. They are our brothers and sisters and they are in dire need of our help.
More than 3 million children are at high risk of deadly water-borne diseases in Pakistan, making them the most vulnerable victims of one of the worst natural disasters in history.
At least 1,500 people have died in the floods, which have destroyed roads and bridges, flooded farmland and knocked out power stations.
More than four million people have no shelter, and millions more need immediate assistance, the UN says, yet only about half the $460m (£295m) wanted for initial relief has been committed.
