I’d written earlier about the stultifyingly small (perhaps still-born?) aid packages that have been flowing into Pakistan’s flooded regions. As a result of the widely acknowledged insufficient private donations, the U.N. has asked that its member states double their pledged humanitarian aid packages to Pakistan.
To get your head around the latest news on private and public donations for humanitarian relief in Pakistan, please watch the video you will find below. As before, it is a excellent piece of reportage, brought to you and me by the always PBS Newshour.
Please find below a link that will take you to the PBS Newhour webpage where you can find more information on this story:
