One-fifth of Pakistan is under water. An estimated 1600 have died, a staggering 20 million are affected by the floods due to torrential monsoon rains. The affected are displaced and exposed to the extreme weather due to the lack of shelter. Food supplies are dangerously low, there's no clean water to drink and no medical aid. Diarrhoea, malaria and gastroenteritis threaten the lives of the survived. Skin infections and malnutrition is rife.
Pakistan is experiencing an internal haemorrhage, where the Indus River that runs like a vein from the head to toe of Pakistan is flooded with the monsoon rains causing the river banks to burst.. It is not until the rainy season is over and for the flood water to ultimately seep into the Arabian Sea that the scale of the disaster can be estimated. This is an ongoing watery slaughter as heavy rains continue to flood the Indus River. We need to help rebuild lives, we need to act NOW!
Sami Yusuf: "Each one of us cherish a proud moment in our lives. A moment where we gave, not necessarily with the intention to receive but we gave because we thought it was needed, we thought it was the right thing to do. The moment I was briefed on the situation in Pakistan, I was overwhelmed. I had this acute sense of urgency to do all in my might to help the flood victims. The suffering and painful stories from the region, kept me up all night where I was working on releasing a charity single Hear Your Call. I decided to donate all profits to a UN sponsored charity Save the Children, who've been actively and effectively involved in relief efforts. We have all heard heart-breaking stories in our lifetimes. And somewhere inside we've long nurtured a wish and a will to help make a difference. Today, is the time to act upon that wish. Today, we have the power to make a difference. Let's all unite in our efforts to help save and rebuild lives -- now.
