FLoodS iN pAKistan:
More than 1,400 people have been killed and three million cut off by Pakistan's worst flooding in 80 years.There's no electricity, no drinking water,shortage of food in the affected areas.
The rescue effort was aided by a slackening of the monsoon rains that have caused the worst flooding in decades in Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa province. But as floodwaters started to recede, authorities began to understand the full scale of the disaster.
Aerial monitoring is being conducted, and it has shown that whole villages have washed away, animals have drowned and grain storages have washed away.Crops are destroyed on large scale.The destruction is massive.
The U.N. estimates the flooding has affected 1 million people nationwide.
The death toll from the flooding could go even higher since rescue workers have been unable to access certain areas.
The districts of Swat and Shangla have also been hit hard and have suffered more than 400 deaths.
Residents of Swat were still trying to recover from a major battle between the army and the Taliban last spring that caused widespread destruction and drove some 2 million people from their homes. About 1 million of those were still displaced.
In Swat alone, the floods have destroyed more than 14,600 houses and 22 schools.
The flooding has smashed bridges, washed away roads and left villages and towns cut off in Pakistan's Swat Valley.Thousands of houses in Charsaddah are affected,Nowshera is in worst situations,water level raised even upto the 2nd floors of houses.People who felt theirselves secured on 3rd floors,starved for many days.
In all this situation,our president was never worried about innocent lives of citizenz of pakistan but he was busy somewhere else planning his tours.Two UK politicians immediately pulled out of a meeting with him.
Mp Khalid Mahmood blasted: "A lot of people are dying there. No matter what he can do or can't do, he should be there to try to support the people, not swanning around in the UK and France." Lord Ahmed added: "He should be looking after people, not over here."
So then the destruction also prompted widespread criticism of President Asif Ali Zardari over his decision to travel to France and the U.K. while the disaster widened at home. Additionally, Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani has also been criticized for his failure to provide more robust leadership.
Still in our bad times,our president is on visit to UK for his son's graduation and to greet him with other politicians.
In one widely cited case, Gilani has been criticized following his visit to a makeshift medical relief camp in the Punjab. After his visit, Pakistan's news organizations reported that the camp was a fake - established before Gilani's trip and dismantled after he left.
"Our leaders are only looking for photo-ops. No one cares about the people"
Army continues its relief and rescue activities country wide for the affectees of unprecedented floods, but they are working under our irresponsible government.And the credit goes to YOU and ME,who elected them....WE......
ALLAH NEVER CHANGES THE FATE OF THOSE NATIONS WHO THEMSELVES ARE UNWILLING TO CHANGE THEIR FATE......its our real PAKISTAN and we ourselves made it like this...next time,when you vote,at least think once if any of your family member will be affected by such situation in future,the person you are voting for,either he would help you or let you die there alone,leaving just a note on media for you saying...."mujhy bohot afsos hua",would that words be enough for your pain of loosing a dearest family member????????????????
