Washed Out Hopes

Pakistan this year experienced a major devastation  that killed at least 1,600 and left some 4 million homeless. This was such a massive destruction that this calamity has surpassed the humanitarian aid scope of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Pakistan's 2005 earthquake and the 2010 Haiti quake.Stagnant water and homelessness raise the risk for water-borne diseases, and the reports issued by UN show the first cholera cases springing up in the wake of the flooding. Other concerns are typhoid fever, hepatitis A and E, malaria and dengue, and leptospirosis.People are dieing daily of starvation and hunger.Its even so that the basic amenities are not being provided to them leaving them at the mercy of God.
