What's up?
Winter!
Off course in November, its winter!
True!
But winter in Karachi is different from winter in northern areas.
R u referring to UN warning?
No! Its not warning, I think its SOS message to the world.
Meaning?
The cash strapped nation is racing against time to save survivors from bitter cold in the mountains.
True!
Forecasters predict temperature will dip to minus 25 degree Celsius in some areas.
Too bad!
The people without shelter will freeze to death.
Quake toll exceeds 87,000, as reported by World Bank after the new count .
Its reported that even after one month many areas have not been approached owing to landslides.
The UN workers r trying to provide shelter to 350,000 most desperate after one month stepping its appeals for more money, urging donors to be more generous as with other recent disasters in the world.
But am confused?
What for?
Am comparing between the $10 billion aid raised for tsunami victims and................
And.........?
The response received is less than one billion dollar for the earthquake victims in Pakistan.
Think hard my dear!
Meaning?
U might get the answer if u think hard.
R u referring to the utilising agencies credibility in the eyes of world?
Not referring to anything, just praying that these people who have seen the worst of their lives should not be subjected to any new calamity.
True!
Italy has offered artificial limb technology.
That's great!
Almost 50 % of the survivors have fatal injuries and 50% of them have amputations.
Oh God!
The Italian deputy foreign minister after his three-day visit has mentioned that Italy has developed special expertise in the area of artificial limbs and would endeavour to share it with Pakistan.
Heard that Iran has also offered to set up a unit for artificial limbs.
Oh! God, my heart sank when I see amputated children.
Saudi Arabia promises "unlimited" help.
That's great!
National Assembly reopens debate on earthquake.
The members from different parties are trying to convince that they have provided more quanta of relief goods to the affected areas.
It's very tragic!
Ya!
Cashing on the disaster for political benefits, who so ever is doing that, it hurts.
Ya!
Claiming that one has established camps ahead of the other means nothing to the victims politically.
Ya!
The time will tell who has done the relief and rehabilitation job selflessly.
I think I got the answer?
As regards what?
Why tsunami got the world response of $10 billion and Pakistan is still striving to get $1 billion in aid.
