Pakistan has been hit by a most devastating natural disaster in recent days, with unprecedented flooding. The number of people suffering from the massive floods in Pakistan could exceed the combined total in three recent mega disasters - the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake - the United Nations said Monday, with an estimated toll of 13 million people affected.
Shajar-e-Ilm, along with civil society member in Islamabad, has been carrying out relief activities in the affected regions of the Swat Valley. First consignment of food/clothing was dispatched to Swat valley yesterday by members of civil society. Shajar-e-Ilm's own volunteers and officers will be traveling to the Swat Valley and other affected regions from Friday onwards to distribute family packs including atta, (wheat), ghee (butter), lentils, dry milk, sanitary napkins, soap, and water purifying tablets.
Now we are short on funds and need more money, immediately.
