Musharraf donates Rs.10 million to aid Pak flood victims | Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has donated ten million rupees towards the flood relief efforts in the country. The All Pakistan Muslim
League (APML) chief coordinator, Chaudhry Shahbaz Hussain, said that Musharraf
announced the donation following the mass devastation caused by the floods, The
Daily Times reports. Hussain also accused the federal and provincial governments
of having failed to provide enough relief to the affected people, and said that
millions of people were still in urgent need of food, shelter and medical supplies.
Over 1,600 people have been killed and 15 million affected as raging floodwaters
continue to wreak havoc in the country. In addition to causing major human loses,
it has destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes, washed away crops and livestock.
Relief and rescue work has been hit badly by continuous rains, particularly in
the north western region. The United Nations says that Pakistan will need billions
of dollars to recover from the deluge, which is being described as the worst in
the last 80 years. |
