Are Concern for real?
So there has being a flood or something in Pakistan and Concern are appealing for aid for it. Thats fair enough but heres the part i dont get.
What do Pakistan spend on nuclear power and weapons each year? I have no idea but im willing to bet its a lot more than is needed to sort this one out.
Some charities are completely out of touch with what countries are able to help themselves and what countries can help themselves but dont bother.
amazing,

Some countries can help themselves and dont you are correct but its the people they neglect. They build up their arsenal of weapons and the people get very little or anything at all, that is why such charities work in these countries

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?

Aid agencies don't just choose to go to countries that can't help their people in time of need, they also go into countries who don't help their people in times of need............
They're not political and don't view it that way.......

Yeah maybe so but its sick to think that a country that spends money on nuclear weapons actually gets aid from a charity. that aid could go to a country that cannot afford to help their own ppl. I guess considering it all you cant really blame the charity as their only alternative would be not to help them but jesus its sick to think that the Pakistani gov spend enough on nucs to cover this problem.
its sick,

It's the way you look at it that annoys you. Don't think of agencies doing this work, or giving this money to the country, think of it as going to the people the country abandoned, forgot about or just plain ignored...........
