Naif seeks more help for Pakistan flood victims
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 05 - 09 - 2010

Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz urged citizens, expatriates, businessmen, banks and companies to remember that there is still a huge need for help in flood-ravaged Pakistan.
Floods, which first hit the country more than a month ago after extremely heavy rain, killed more than 2,000 people and destroyed more than 1 million homes. The United Nations has said the floods left more than 20 million people injured or homeless.
Saudi rescue teams in Pakistan are continuing their work and everyone should “sense the magnitude and danger of this disaster and take the initiative to provide more assistance,” said the second deputy premier, minister of Interior and supervisor general of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Campaign for Relief for the Pakistani People.
He emphasized “the danger of the disaster that has hit the brotherly Pakistani people due to floods that have inundated the regions, displaced millions of people and caused them to live in conditions that threaten them with starvation, disease and epidemics.”
The Saudi rescue team is continuing daily operations to rescue families who are suffering from the effects of the floods, said Maj. Abdullah Bin Thabit Al-Orabi Al-Harthi, spokesman of the Civil Defense.
The team has rescued more than 640 families from Dadu, Kalimori and other flooded villages about 500 kilometers north of Hyderabad. An ebb tide and the accumulation of water in some regions, which was caused by the rapid return of water to the sea, left some villages inundated with water, he said.
Relief supplies that arrived in the early days of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Campaign have been distributed and medical teams are continuing to provide first aid and medicine, he added.
Al-Harthi said the rescue work continues in Tata Region, one of the hardest-hit areas, and cities and governorates under its jurisdiction. Shelter was provided and supplies distributed to more than 800 families there.
