“relief is being given in the form of food and shelter”

And you don’t think maybe that will have an effect on the people who try to make a living by selling those things?

So 1600 people died, that is very sad. But remember 3000 people died last year alone from Islamic terrorism.

People are having 10 children even though they have no job, stop the growth in population (due to religion) again and the world would have more sympathy for you.

For those of you who worry about the money going to the wrong people, well don’t relief is being given in the form of food and shelter. The damage is more than the country’s international debt if it could come up with the money all by itself, Pakistani would be a much different country. I donated why don’t you, plus there is hundred percent transparency on what is being done with the money so if you want look it up and see it there is anything available on the internet.

The Canadian government is doubling any donation a person makes so donate to Canadian agencies it will be more beneficial.

The executives of all these charities get huge salaries and bonuses. Hardly any of the money collected reaches those who need it. Charity begins at home.

Many areas can only be accessed by helicopters and number of helicopters if very few.They are behaving in a way which seems stupid because it is better to try and get food from helicopters even if that endangers their life than to die of starvation as people don’t know when next helicopter will arrive

I’m studying now so I can only think of helping when I have cash, but what even better than cash are ideas from our wits. Wake up people we don’t need only to send money to charities and all. Of course it’s all good but the Red Cross I knew of my age was known not for collecting money alone but supplying medics, paramedics, food, shelter, and crisis management teams not soldiers! If things are to helped in Pakistan by Britain honestly then perhaps it is time we reviewed the history of our institutions. By the way I’m Nigerian if that helps to enlighten somethings. Thanks.

The top photo shows a lot of people behaving in a recklessly and stupid way. Endangering themselves and the people in the helicopter, acting without reason. This is the other thing that troubles me about this situation. So many unthinking people that any help given could easily be wasted through ignorance.
