Are Concern for real?

[Lucy Chambers]

Politics has nothing to do with humanitarian aid. I doubt that the thousands of people stranded alongside the ravaged puddle that is now their home could tell you anything at all about the latest government manifesto. Watching their children die of cholera and starvation may dim their interest in the order of the day. Not to worry though, its their problem, eh?

Exactly my point. Was listening to some gobshite on the radio the other night saying we should give them nothing and look after ourselves because we are in recession, yet he felt sorry for them??

there a new on sky, which said that major western countries are reluctant to give aid to Pakistan as politicians will swindle part of, another portion will go into buying arms (illegally from China/Korea), less than 50% will reach people who need it. In such a scenario, I would not like to donate to Pakistan directly. If red cross/any organisation is on ground zero doing some work, better donate to those organizations.

When Pakistan was facing the disaster, its President was taking helicopter rides over French Chateau. How do you help a country where president doesn't care for its people?
