re: UN appeals for $460 million for flood victims in Pakistan
Well they should use some of the climate change funds $10 Billion that was committed to at the Copenhagen accord in late 2009, Some are suggesting that this flooding is directly caused by Global warming and some are suggesting too that the effects will be worse than the 2004 tsunami which killed 250,000 people.
Let me guess it's, the money is bogged down in red tape, or the protocol and place hasn't been set up yet or the checks in the mail to the UN from the various governments that committed to the fund.
Typical... people are sort of dying here Mr Politico and about 6 million are children.
10 days into the Haiti quake $300.00 per person had been donated
10 days into the Pakistan floods $4.00 per person has been donated.
Canada has only donated $2 million thus far and private donations are only trickling in
Where can we donate?
