Pakistani people hungry and homeless by Zivka Deleva

It seems like there is not one single day without some natural catastrophe to happen on some foot of the Earth. Now it's turn to poor Pakistani people. Devastating floods hurt millions of people and are suffering, asking for aid from whoever can help. People are hungry and homeless. The United Nations are asking for everyone who could help. About 460 million dollars are needed for the damage to be reduced, but aid groups say the response has been sluggish and flood survivors have lashed out at Pakistan's weak civilian government for failing to help. One of the most terrifying fact is that about 3.5 million children are endangered to get sick with some water-borne diseases. ! For about three weeks the rains don't stop and about one quarter of the country was hit. Not only people suffer, but more important their agricultural land is endangered too. This flood is the worst natural disaster that has ever happened in the history of Pakistani country. Donors are afraid that this disaster might influence badly the world economy. The World Bank promised to give 900 million dollars loan. Pakistani officials admit that they can not help themselves, if the world doesn't give them a hand for help. "We fear we're getting close to the start of seeing a second wave of death if not enough money comes through, due to water-borne diseases along with lack of clean water and food shortages" - Maurizio Giuliano, spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Around 1,600 people have died and whole towns and villages are being destroyed.
