UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie said that transparency is a must for every government while most of the country trust on the government of Pakistan for the assistance of flood victims. She said that while addressing at a press conference here on Wednesday, and adding that "I have never seen that type of flood in my life", its huge disaster.
Angelina said millions of people have been displaced in this recent flood and has appealed to the international community to support and rehabilitate the flood victims. Millions of Afghan refugees are living in Pakistan and government of Pakistan and UNHCR are supporting them, it is a unique example of generosity, she said. Julie said that during her visit she met those women who had lost their husbands and seen those children who have no shelter of their parents.
"It's clear this crisis is far from over ", she said. "People have lost everything, their homes, their belongings, their crops and cattle, and their livelihoods. Long after the cameras have gone, people will be struggling to rebuild their lives." She said that flood victims have lost their every thing in the flood, including food and not just food items but clothes and other daily use items were also washed out in the flood.
"We must not forget flooding is not the only trauma plaguing this country," she said. "They are still rebuilding infrastructure from the earthquake of 2005. They continue to have large numbers of IDPs as a result of the conflict in the north, and host 1.7 million Afghan refugees who still need care and refuge as conflict continues in their homeland.
And now, of course, the recent flooding and its aftermath already affecting millions and the looming threat of disease," Jolie continued. "Over the last three decades, Pakistan has been very generous in hosting what continues to be the largest refugee population in the world.
It is now the Pakistani people themselves who are in need of large scale assistance," Angelina Jolie urges long-term assistance for Pakistan as she visits flood affected areas and relief camps. It was her fourth visit to Pakistan since becoming UNHCR's Goodwill Ambassador in 2001, while She visited last time in November 2005 following the devastating earthquake in Northern Pakistan.
