More than 2000 people have been killed with hundreads of thousands stranded by the annual moonsoon rain in Pakistan. These floods have destoryed millions of hectacres of crops, overun towns and villages and demolished bridges and roads. Due to food shortages famine is spreading as long as diesease such as cholera due to polluted water supplies. It has been estimated  that over 21million people are injured and homeless as a result, a total which is greater than that of the people affected by the boxingday tsunami, the kashmir earthquake in 2005 and the recent Haiti earthquake combined however I feel compared to these, especially the Haiti earthquake very little is being done to provide aid for the Pakistani people.
