PM launches global rain-relief appeal

 ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani Saturday called upon the international community to help Pakistan rehabilitate Monsoon-devastated Sidh province as the damages, this time around, are far greater than expected.

Addressing the nation on TV, he summed up all the efforts made by the government and non-government entities to relieve hundreds and thousands of rained-out people.

“President Asif Ali Zardari has launched an international flood appeal, as the government alone cannot cope with the massive destruction these relentless rains made this season”, He said.

He also appealed to the nation to come forward in this need of hour and do as much relief work as they can.
