United States of America has been hit by one of the worst natural disasters in its history. In New Orleans, Louisiana and its surroundings Hurricane Katrina has damaged beyond repair tens of thousands of homes and businesses and left more than 78,000 people in emergency shelters.
The unprecedented damage could take years to recover from.
Apart from providing food and shelter to the affected, breaking out of cholera, typhoid and dehydrating diseases in the region is of immediate concern to the health authorities.
I think the government and the people of Pakistan should rise to the occasion and come to the help of the afflicted humanity there.
There is no doubt that the sole super power is quite capable of looking after its people but we as Muslims are ordained to help the people in distress and, therefore, must extend our helping hand to them in their this hour of calamity.
