The helping hands of Pakistan Army In Pictures.

Are all such camps equipped with oriental carpets?

Solomon,

The person that you rent the tent that you see in that picture also rents out those carpets----" oriental " !!!----they are just regular pieces of woolen carpets that we throw on the ground to cover the dirt.:cheers:

Come to think of it---it does look strange to someone who has not seen that before.
 
I doubt the Army and gov't can handle something on this scale. You need experienced personnel from international relief agencies, like those who handled the tsunami in Indonesia a few years back. U.S. Navy personnel didn't like them, but admired them for their expertise, so eventually they followed their lead.

Actually the poster is wrong the UN is coordinating this with NDMA and Pak Gov. Check OCHA:

US Defence Secretary Robert Gates have orderd to ensure availability of 19 more helicopters to fly to pakistan to help in relief activities.

Two US Marine helicopters arrived in Pakistan Thursday to join relief and rescue operations in areas hit by massive floods in the country's worst catastrophe, the US embassy said.

The two aircraft are the first of 19 extra helicopters that US Defence Secretary Robert Gates urgently ordered to Pakistan on Wednesday, it said.

The CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters flew into Pakistan from the USS Peleliu, which is positioned in international waters in the Arabian Sea.

The remaining aircraft will arrive over the next few days and will include three US Navy MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopters,
four US Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters and
12 US Marine Corps CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters.

US military helicopters will operate in partnership with the Pakistan military throughout the country's flood-affected areas.

The 19 aircraft will relieve six US Army helicopters already in Pakistan that will soon return to duty in Afghanistan, the embassy said.

Despite bad weather, the six helicopters have rescued more than 3,089 people and transported more than 322,340 pounds of emergency relief supplies, it said.

Pakistan's government says more than 14 million people face direct or indirect harm from the floods. The United Nations believes 1,600 people have died in the floods, while Pakistan has confirmed 1,243 deaths.

US President Barack Obama “wants to lean forward in offering help to the Pakistanis,” Gates said Wednesday.

The Islamabad government has admitted to being overwhelmed, and hardline Islamic charities have conducted a highly visible aid effort on the ground. – AFP
