PKKH is actively working on the ground in the areas affected by Pakistan’s worst floods ever – and we require your generous assistance. So far over 5,000 families have been given ration packs, over 50,000 people have been provided with warm meals, over 30 medical camps with teams of doctors and medical staff.

While we sit comfortably in our homes, lets not forget our brothers and sisters who are spending sleepless nights out in the open fighting hunger and disease alongwith nature’s fury. These men and women are our brothers and sisters. We don’t need the millions in foreign aid that goes into the bank accounts of our politicians and the corrupt system – let us show the world that we Pakistanis can and will take care of our own, just like we did in Swat last year and many times before that. Allah is enough for us, for He is our protector.

PKKH has in the past worked on ground in SWAT during the internal displacement crisis last year and provided hundreds of families with food, shelter and medical assistance with the help of our readers.

Situation is deteriorating fast due to the inability and incompetence of the government and we request whole nation for Sabr and Istighfar. With Ramadan approaching, this provides you with an opportunity to gain Sadqa-e-Jariyah by doing your duty towards your countrymen.

His spokespeople kept insisting the visit was for official business. But the truth comes from the supposed hosts. They’re saying we never asked him to come.

ISA KHEL: Pakistani religious charities have been quick to step in to help after this month’s devastating floods, winning hearts and minds as frustration with the US-backed government grows.

The worst floods in 80 years have killed more than 1,600 people and affected 13 million people  along a broad swathe of the Indus river basin, from the north of the country to the south.

The army was quick to respond with rescue efforts, saving many lives as the torrent struck. The government, overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster, has been blasted as ineffective.

But as the authorities and international aid agencies marshal supplies and staff, it was Jamaat-ud-Dawa’s  workers who were first to arrive to help people pick up their lives as the worst of the surge begins to ebb.

As they had done in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake, once again it was Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD)’s men who were the first to reach the affected areas, bringing with them tents, huge pots to cook free meals, vans, tractors, and even mobile hospitals, doctors and medical camps.

“They were the first to come with tractors and vans to evacuate our people,” said Shafaatullah Khan who lives in a village near the Indus in Punjab province. “If they hadn’t been many people would have died. They worked day and night to get people out and provide cooked food and water.”

Nearby, workers of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) hovered around four huge pots, preparing food over a smoky fire while four women clad in burqas sat at a charity medical post.
