Help Them

The flood in Pakistan began on July 2010 following heavy moonsoon rains in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan regions of Pakistan and affected the Indus River basin. At one point, approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's total land area was underwater. According to Pakistani government data the floods directly affected about 20 million people, mostly by destruction of property, livelihood and infrastructure. According to a report the number of individuals affected by the flooding exceeds the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

After the flood people from Pakistan and different countries of the world helped the victims of the flood. People sent food items, medicines and other useful stuff. The students of Karachi organized rallies and other programs to collect fund for the flood effected people. All the people felt pain for them and wanted to help their brothers and sisters. A huge amount of donation was collected. Everybody contributed something or the other.

But now it seems that people have forgotten those people, even our government. Nobody is doing anything for them. Have people fulfilled their duties? Does those people don’t need any help now?

I think we all must help them the same way until they are fully settled again. And I think that the government must help them. They are the people of Pakistan and it is the duty of Pakistan must take care of them and must help them.
