Massive floods across Pakistan | Thousands Killed

Kayani doesn't make as much of an impression on me as does the staff sergeant in the center of the picture.

That's probably because Kayani is known to be a man who gives nothing away with his reaction. The fact that he lifted 17 people on his heli during aerial tour of Swat proves that he believes in deeds rather than words.

Also, i may point out the expression on the faces of people around him, how they look upto him.
 
I'd like to clear up a common misperception. The U.S. President can't just donate whatever amount he wants for whatever purpose; the U.S. Congress holds the purse strings. As I understand it the president can authorize up to $10 million in foreign disaster relief right away; anything more requires an allocation from Congress. I guess that could happen in the next few weeks. That is how it worked after the Haiti disaster last year.

This restriction is a bit loose in the sense that U.S. military activities and supplies can be temporarily directed towards disaster relief, as Pakistanis themselves experienced only a few years ago.

There is no miss-perception. We are happy for the US was the first foreign country to give aid. A friend in need is a friend in deed. We all know how aid "commitments" work, well at least i am.
 
Nawaz has visited a lot of places. Also, Shahbaz is going around worst-hit places since yesterday. It's hard to keep pace with him right now.

Rajanpur had been drowning for a week. South Punjab is alien territory to the duo.
 
a brotherly advice to all of u!
ramzan is almost here, and as muslims we give out zakat etc..
this time i think we should give it to these people in flood hit areas....

China to provide 10 mn yuan humanitarian aid

ISLAMABAD: The Chinese government on Monday decided to provide an emergency humanitarian aid worth 10 million yuan to the Pakistan government to help in its relief efforts in the flood-hit areas.

According to a Spokesman of China’s embassy in Pakistan, the decision to extend assistance for flood relief and rescue in Pakistan is a reflection of the friendship that the Chinese Government and people have with the Pakistani Government and people.

Meanwhile, Diplomats and staff members of Chinese Embassy in Islamabad voluntarily donated Rs 600,000 to help the flood-affected people in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
