In that case it might be better to send goods directly instead of cash.

As lot of Live Stock has perished , or Farm lands submerged
the cash will be useful in case food has to be imported from outside into country

This will get noticed around week 2 or 3 of the disaster

So any cash sent helps authorities to plan ahead in case food import is needed


1) Property Damage
2) People's Lost
3) Basic home necessities lost (cooking pot , stove etc)
4) Clothes
5) Food & Water
6) Live Animal Stock
7) Farm land crops

Officials say 1,061 people have died since June when the seasonal rains began, but the final toll could be higher as hundreds of villages in the mountainous north have been cut off after flood-swollen rivers washed away roads and bridges.

This year's flooding has affected more than 33 million people - one in seven Pakistanis - said the National Disaster Management Authority. "It's all one big ocean, there's no dry land to pump the water out," Rehman told AFP, adding the economic cost would also be devastating.

This year's floods are comparable to those of 2010 - the worst on record - when more than 2,000 people died. Flood victims have taken refuge in makeshift camps that have sprung up across the country, where desperation is setting in.

Keeping in view the current situation, here is a little something for the members to see and take note of. The value of having grass, trees, shurbs, anything with roots in the ground. Of course there are other factors involved as well, but this is the main gist of it.

Thank you. I want to donate and saw Dawn Relief via Dawn.com but that would be through banking from my American bank and I try to avoid that. Any Paypal way? This one has a Paypal way to send to Pakistan and looks reliable? https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/pakistan-flood-relief-fund-1/

I would never trust dawn.com
You should know crooks are running this paper. And highly politically motivated. But then it's ur money..spend it however u want.

I really don't understand the need for this.

PAF is making it's own account, Punjab govt has it's own, KP has it's own, there is a federal account, and I think there is one for NDMA as well. This is just another symptom of the broken and hodgepodge response we currently have. Just pool in the resources to one central account, have one central agency and the disburse them. Ideally it should be NDMA, but in most situations it's poor capacity gets highlighted. Let's hope the new committee made by the federal govt can work efficiently.
