The country Pakistanis curse the most is sending 10 million in aid and the one it sucks up to is sending a paltry 1.48 million. Pakistanis still dont get it.

That is real alarming!

I hope they have an efficient anti flood scheme.

The poor Mohajirs would be at the receiving end!

Institutes including Army, Rangers, Police and Irrigation officials are on high alert due to flood threat.

A number of people are trapped as the water level continues to rise at Guddu and Sukkur barrages.

According to Irrigation sources the upstream water at Guddu barrage is 300,000 cusecs and expected to reach at 500,000 cusecs within a day or two.

Pakistan faces risk of further flooding

By Matthew Green in Islamabad
Published: August 3 2010 15:33 | Last updated: August 3 2010 15:33
Pakistan was braced on Tuesday for the risk of fresh flooding amid fears that a deluge of monsoon rain that uprooted over 1m people in the rugged northwest will cause further havoc in more populous lowland provinces.

Aid workers estimate that more than 1,400 people nationwide have been killed and three million forced from their homes by the worst floods to hit Pakistan in almost a century, but they are still struggling to gain a clear picture of the scale of the crisis."In the initial stages it wasn't apparent to everybody what the magnitude of this catastrophe was," said Mike O'Brien, of the International Committee of the Red Cross. "This is a national catastrophe. The flood waters that have hit the north-west are already starting to affect other parts of the country."

Much of the relief effort of the past few days has focused on the north-western Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, which bore the brunt of the torrential rain and where tens of thousands of people were cut off by rising waters. Flash floods swept away entire villages without warning.

The Swat Valley and surrounding areas, where an estimated 2m people were driven from their homes by fighting between Pakistan's army and Taliban insurgents last year, have been among the hardest hit.

"We are now in a race against time to avert a public health disaster. The countryside is drowning in an ocean of contaminated water," said Neva Khan, the country director of Oxfam, the relief agency. "There are queues and queues of people waiting for clean drinking water."

Relief agencies fear that the downhill movement of the water through river systems snaking into the eastern Punjab and southern Sindh provinces, where most of Pakistan's people live, could combine with fresh downpours to worsen the devastation. They hope, however, that people will have time to move to higher ground, avoiding the rapid loss of life that hit the country last week.

Waters were rising on Tuesday in parts of Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province, which suffered an initial bout of flooding in late July. Estimates for the number of people forced from their homes in Punjab range from 180,000 to more than 800,000, illustrating the difficulty officials face in assessing the situation.

Authorities are telling residents in the southern Sindh Province, home to Karachi, the commercial capital, to evacuate flood-prone areas. The Indus river has risen to its highest levels in more than a century, according to Pakistani media. Parts of Kashmir, the western Baluchistan province and Pakistan's tribal belt have also been hit.

Relief workers have mobilised a humanitarian infrastructure that was set up to cope with the affects of the fighting between Taliban insurgents and the army in north-west Pakistan, but do not have the same resources in place in other parts of the country.


The growing magnitude of the crisis is testing the resources of Pakistan's military and its weak coalition government. Asif Ali Zardari, the country's president, who began an official visit to the UK on Tuesday, has faced criticism from survivors who are still awaiting help. An outbreak of political violence that killed several dozen people in Karachi following the assassination of a prominent politician on Monday has added to his government's woes.

While boats and helicopters continue to ferry survivors to safety, attention is also turning to the potential long-term effects of the floods. Relief workers are trying to assess the extent of the damage to crops, fearing there could be a significant shortfall in the next harvest. Reports suggest that food prices have already soared by as much as 300 per cent in parts of the Swat Valley, among the worst hit areas.

Torrents have washed away dozens of bridges and highways, inflicting massive damage to infrastructure.

Sats China as offered roughly INR 7 crores. That is peanuts. Considering that China is pakistans all weather friend. Looks like they are not monsoon friends.. Just when the sun is shining. Gujarat had given Bihar 6 crores for flood relief, the same thing that created a lot of media hype recently.

What does this post serve apart from running the same rhetoric? He is right in his saying that why we should provide any assistance when we are wrongly blamed for this tragedy. This baseless statement should have been avoided. If you disagree with that and if you can prove the statement right then debate or else don't start the victim saga again. There is absolutely no need for providing assistance to those who blame us needlessly for the tragedy.
Well, my point here is Pakistan government's issuing a statement that blames India should not stop India from helping people who are suffering there. Assistance should be extended to the flood victims. That is genuine humanity, isn't it?

Your argument that there is absolutely no need for providing assistance to those who hate you only shows you are narrow-minded.

Where the hell do you get your information from ??? Chinese intelligence or Xinhua news. The floods are caused due to monsoon rains.
I didn't quote that extract to blame India for the flood. I am sorry if my words caused any misunderstanding.
For god sake start seeing some international news channel or read news on the net. Opps .. sorry they are banned in your country right !!!!
Typical crap from Indian!

First, internation news channel is nothing special, news reported by media has never been absolutely objective. Reading news from Xinhua is no different from reading news from AP.

Second, i do read news on Yahoo, Times of India, Rediff everyday. So you are no better informed than me, stop acting you are superior to us.

Third, there are websites blocked in China. But most main-stream news channels are available, for example, AP, AFP, BBC, Time, NYT. So get your fact straight before spouting those everything-is-banned-in-China crap.

If nothing, this has given Pakistan a PR-boost. People who once looked at it from the light of a terror factory now start to empathize with the human loss. The tragedy here is that the Pakistani state stands between people who want to help financially, and those who need it. Those who don't see the state are falling into the PR trap.

What kind of thread title is this? are you guyz playing politics even in this disastrous incident?
have some fear of god peoples, rather than showing sympthy towards the peoples or helping them as a human being you are talking about China offered 1.48 million dollars?

Please change the title, UK offered 10 million dollars, some other countries too donated some money. Why countering china only? please change it to Floods in Pakistan or something like that
