The establishment of Emergency Relief Fund by OEN will get a good response from the people. The government officials have lost the confidence of the people. I will appeal my dear friend Rob Kall, editor of OEN and all other friends to give heed to my call.According to latest figure available in newspapers of Pakistan, the United Nations said Monday that aid workers are having difficulties
accessing Pakistan's flood-hit zones, as key bridges and roads have been
destroyed or washed away by monsoon rains.
The "main issue is
accessibility to the area due to destruction of roads and bridges," said
a team of five UN officials who travelled to assess the situation in
the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday.
The
group led by the UN's Humanitarian Coordinator Martin Magwanja had to
fly in through helicopter to Nowshera and Charsadda as there was "no
road accessibility to the districts." They also had to drop a planned
visit to Swat and Shangla districts as weather conditions there were too
adverse.
An estimated 1.5 million people have been affected by
Pakistan's worst floods in 80 years brought on by monsoon rains, which
killed more than 1,200 people across the northwest.
