IDP IN PAKISTAN NEED YOUR HELP!

URGET

The current crisis in Northern Pakistan is escalating. Currently over 350 000 people have been registered as displaced at refugee camps but as numbers rise a million people are expected to become internally displaced and have nowhere to go.

“The floodgates are opening whenever there`s a curfew lifted and thousands and thousands of people are on the roads”. [Killian Kleinschmidt UNHCR]

These hundreds of thousands of people carrying very few basic belongings have fled their homes with nothing to help them survive. They do not know where they will go or what they will do tomorrow. Pakistan already suffers from severe poverty and there is a greater threat for the loss of lives & increase in extreme poverty due to this refugee crisis.

Human Appeal International responded immediately and £150 000 has been allocated in providing aid such as food blankets clothes and temporary shelters.

We urgently need your support. Please DONATE NOW!

Human Appeal International is working on the ground.

Immediate needs for Refugees:

Family Food Parcel - £25
Emergency kit - £50
Emergency Medicines - £15

This one’s from Dr.Awab’s Blog. He will be collecting funds and hopefully flying to the affected areas next week. This is one initiative from a person among the Pakistani Blogosphere. Dr.Awab is highly respected and known for his constant activism. On behalf of the Pakistani Blogosphere I would request everyone to donate generously. I am sure Dr.Awab will keep us updated during and after his visit. This is one opportunity we have to make a difference in swat.

UN estimates there are 980,000 people being displaced out of NWFP - there is tremendous suffering and a severe lack of funds and Volunteers.

USA:Donations for swat victims

Here’s another request for donations. This would be an easier take for those residing in the states. I will be updating this post for further information regarding organizations collecting funds in the states. for all those overseas humanitarians this is your time to make the difference !

On Monday UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres appealed for international solidarity in support of hundreds of thousands of displaced Pakistani civilians.

“The total number of displaced Pakistanis registered by authorities with UNHCR help since May 2 has now reached more than 360,000 people. Not everyone is registered and people continue to flee, many arriving only with what they can carry on their backs,” Guterres said. “These are the same people who for decades showed great generosity to millions of Afghan refugees. Now it is time for the international community to show them the same generosity by supporting humanitarian programs for the Pakistani displaced.”

Thank you to all of you who have already generously donated. So far with your help, UNHCR airlift arrived in Islamabad this afternoon carrying 14,000 plastic sheets, 1,500 large roles of plastic to build shelters for displaced families, 10,000 mosquito nets and two large, portable warehouses.

But the scale and the severity of the crisis is expected to grow. UNHCR’s efforts will depend on additional help from people like you.

How you can help:

$50 can register 150 displaced Pakistanis in order to assess their needs and trace their families.
$100 can give a survival kit including blankets and cooking stove.
$200 can provide an all-weather tent to shelter a displaced family.
