Today (10th August 2015)
\nnews of massive floods in Pakistan reminds us of the frail nature of
\nAsia’s ecosystem. Already reports of 170 deaths in Southern Punjab are
\nindicative of the human cost and dangers faced living in the region.
\nThe impact on Pakistan will grow as days pass, and
\nour fears are that other lives will be lost before we see any cessation
\nto this large scale inundation. Initial reports estimate one million people have been affected with acres of agricultural land and crops being lost and at least 500,000 homes rendered uninhabitable.<\/p>\n
The British Pakistani Christian
\nAssociation has a long history of flood response disaster recovery. Our
\nvery first humanitarian work was in response to the massive 2010
\ndeluge. As in previous years we have opened a recovery fund and pray
\nour donors will help us to bring succour to suffering victims. Our officer Naveed is currently en route to visit victims in order to assess how we
\ncan help. Work will include building repairs, food, clean water,
\ntemporary shelter and medical aid.<\/p>\n

\nrefuses to put adequate investment into infrastructure such as a dam,
\ncanal improvements and flood buffers that could reduce the impact and
\nsave lives. This problem is compounded by the fragile indo-pak relationship, that prevents a joined up approach towards prevention of floods via the two neighbouring nations of India and Pakistan.”
\nHe added:<\/span>
\n“Muslim charities have an evident abhorrence to
\nhelping Christians unless they commit to converting. This will not occur
\nand so our vulnerable community will be ignored in preference of more
\n‘valuable’ Muslims. It is imperative to donate to Christian charities
\nsuch as the BPCA to ensure Christians are not overlooked.”<\/p>\nPlease will you help us to ease the burdens of those affected by the monsoon floods? Your gift really can make a difference. <\/p>\n
