On Pakistan, even as UN agencies have expressed their concerns about the health and welfare of approximately two million displaced people living in north-west Pakistan, they have praised the Pakistanis who have provided food, shelter and other resources to those in need in that region.
“The everyday people of Pakistan are the real heroes of this current crisis in Pakistan,” said Martin Mogwanja, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Pakistan. Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, he said, “They set an inspiring example of extraordinary generosity for the whole world.” He said that he hoped this example is followed by the governments of this world, whose continued urgent support is desperately needed. We have a press release upstairs with more details.
