Following on yesterday’s piece on the Newshour with Jim Lehrer, please find the second piece associated with the flood in Pakistan. This piece that air two days ago deals exclusively with the aid effort to get clean water, food and shelter to the devastated victims of this catastrophe. Now it is becoming increasingly clear that the most chilling threat to the safety and well-being of the victims of the flood is contagious viral, rapidly spreading infection.
The invited interlocutor is Michael Young, who until recently served as Country Director in Pakistan for the International Rescue Committee. If you are so able you can donate to aid relief in Pakistan through the IRC, here.
