Heal Pakistan : A Fundraising Iftar with Dinner | |
A fund-raising Dinner to help the Pakistan Flood Victims.
Up to 2.5 million people have been affected by devastating floods in north-west Pakistan, the International Red Cross has said. Rescuers are struggling to reach 27,000 people still cut off by the floods, which are the worst in 80 years.
At least 1,100 people have died and thousands have lost everything.
"In the worst-affected areas, entire villages were washed away without warning by walls of flood water," the Red Cross said in a statement.
There are fears diarrhoea and cholera will spread among the homeless. Food is scarce and water supplies have been contaminated by the floods.
