Floods in Pakistan
The new satellite image from NASA shows that recent flooding in River Indus has turned part of Province Sind into 100 km wide inland lake. These floods are due to what United Nation declares "monsoon on steroids", heaviest rainfall ever received by this region. The rain received this season is 500 times more then average. Around 1200 people are killed so far and 33 million are affected.
I am also concerned about this because in my area some of the settlements in the province have also experienced flooding due to overflowing river water and it also rains very often. However, there were no casualties but only damage to property belonging to local residents who were carried away by water currents.
Now what is the condition in Pakistan ? and whether the bitcoiners there have prepared assistance for this, or have the residents around Pakistan made countermeasures for this?
Conditions are conducive, various aids have started to arrive.
irfan_pak10 has created a special Thread on Child Boards Services for Pakistan flood fundraising, you can see it here
[Donations] Fundraising for the Floods disaster in Pakistan | Raised ~1000 USD.
The collected funds have also been distributed to flood victims through irfan_pak10's trusted people who are in the area around the flood.
Today I'm going to transfer the first batch of PKR to a friend of mine, who lives nearby in the flooded area. Where he will start the campaign and give them whatever they required. Will later post the proofs.
Hopefully more forum members will become donors to help ease the burden on the Pakistani population affected by the floods.
