We are going to see a rise in sales of luxury properties in Canada, London, Dubai after they get the financial aid

Instead asking for help Pakistani politicians should first give money from their pockets

[natrajanrajasekaran]

“Life-threatening” for people. “Life-defining” for the leaders.

Maj. Gaurav Arya once said, "whenever pakistan gets loans sanctioned, the property rates in london goes up."

Pakistan increased salaries for Army recently at time of devastation and expect world to Aid them 🤷🤷🤷 these funds will be undoubtedly channeled into Army generals, bureaucrats, ISI, politics off shore banks and thier foreign Real estate purchases....

Pakistan need to collect 'hallal' charges from these floods.

[deeeeeere]

This is blessing for Pakistani politicians, all the help in the name of flood diverted to foreign accounts.

I love how this Bilawal emphasize on his accent and appearance rather than contributing anything to his country.

[asakurayoh]

Doesn’t matter how much monitory assistance they get their govt will never use those funds for their people.

I wish the victims of terrorism would get the same level of international support the way these exporters of terrorism gets

[indianskeptic]

I've never heard UN or anyone else ever sympathising with India during similar disasters. On the contrary they make disparaging comments.

[abjt_s]

Sad to see this but finally schools are being used in Pakistan.

[aminaabdulla]

Think about Pakistani based terrorists who did 9/11 in USA, 8/11 in Mumbai, what they did in Bangladesh and in Kashmir and all over the Eurore

I remember the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The Clinton Foundation solicited money for the victims. Bill Clinton himself arranged it so that anyone could text in their donations. I worked with some Haitians at the time and we gave all we could. Only to find out later, the people never received the money. It was terrible. The Clinton's gave their daughter a lavish wedding while Haitians went hungry.

[atokimruk]

90% of money will disappear. Foreign entities like "UN" and nations will not give cash to Pakistan but will send materials, grains, etc.

[khan-xzzy]

Poor will remain just poor. Homeless will remain homeless. Yes very few will become billionaire

[prakashtiwari]

Appeal to all western countries, don't give them assistance in term of cash instead provide shelters, food, medicines and other essentials commodities directly to the victims of this calamities. Otherwise Pakistan army and their politicians will grapple all the fund in their bank accounts.

[canmurthy]

Both Shabaz Sharif & Imran Khan have mastered & refined the art of begging! 🤣🤣

[lpatlau]

Sadly more than 50 % of every international relief funds never got into the help. There are always some companies who take a small part an Delft a little for actual fund

[miteshd]

How much China donated?
How much OIC doneted?
Why Allah is not happy?
