Lack of Donations

Whenever there is a mishap in Pakistan, Pakistani govt. can not handle their challenges. How long do they want to keep asking for help?

All Muslims in west are trying to recover from their own challenges. Being a Muslim in west itself a challenge these days. Of course, we are still better off.

The lack of coordination among the politicians also

affects the flood relief efforts. In general, west is not interested in helping Pakistan.

There is no coverage in CNN or local news. There is too

much mis-communication about every thing.

Problems Potential long term effects i) Food ii) Infrastructure iii) Political effects iv) Economical Effects

CHALLENGES

Health Food Shelter Water and Sanitation Reconstruction of communication and power

infrastructure Regenerating livelihood

Recommendations

Build Dams To save the water which is caused due to heavy rain fall.

People don’t go back to their homes until the water has gone.

Cutting of trees should be avoided. Houses should be made in saved

places.
