• Flooding in Pakistan: Disaster Ignored

  August 12, 2010

  The United Nations has declared the flooding in Pakistan one of the worst disasters in the organization's history, calling for its largest disaster response effort, but it's gone largely unreported here. 14 million people have been affected, and at least 1600 killed. Funds have been slower to come in than in many recent disasters, and agencies are calling for donations to help the victims--you can find links below to donate.

• Dean Baker, Noor Elashi & Medea Benjamin, and Flooding in Pakistan

  August 11, 2010
