The Associated PressPakistani health officials have reported an outbreak of water-borne diseases, including in Charsadda, Pakistan, seen here on Thursday. The area has been hit by extreme flooding.The UN children's agency said more than three million children were in need of humanitarian assistance and stood at heightened risk of disease, drowning and malnutrition due to the most severe flooding in Pakistan's recent history.
The grim updates came a day after Pakistan and the World Health Organization raised concern over the spread of water-borne diseases among flood victims. Flood waters continued to recede in the most of the country, but many districts in southern Sindh province remained underwater, forcing displaced people to stay at donated camps.
Doctors say initially they were initially seeing mostly patients traumatized by the flooding, but they are now treating thousands of people suffering from diarrhea, skin infections and other water-borne ailments. Many pregnant women living in flood-affected areas were also exposed to risks. "Around 73,000 will be giving birth within the next month, and they need skilled birth attendants, privacy, and birth facilities, or the survival of the mother and the newborn will be at risk," she said.
What has the un been doing with the damn money sent to them for the past 60 fkn years ! In their own bank accounts no doubt !
The UN has a ton of money they just mismanage it.
Get the mosque’s around the world to give money. Don’t expect the government to help!
Now do Canadians kids below the poverty line that suffer from malnutrition. Unacceptable. Canada first, please.
The world is going to let those kids die while we send more weapons to a war that's already been comprehensively lost. The system is broken beyond repair
What happened tot the billions the west has given the UN in past 60 years …oh I know in there private bank accounts !
Pfizer and morderna can help with that.. a lot of money in past years….
Lets hope regions 1% step up
