Understad The Real Needs Of Flood-Affected!

(Manzoor Hussain Rajper, Karachi)

The very hot topic for these days is floods. People have different point of views for those affected. It is due to that, if you see the situation from the distant area you have a different picture instead of watching it from close. The persons looking at the situation of those from big cities have different picture because they do not know the basic system of the life of those who live in the villages and those affected areas. During the Eid-ul-Fitar days and holy month Ramadan people were bit excited for their help. But as the days passed that zeal has been reduced where as those affected are not settled in their homes. I watched some of the programs that were arranged by some TV Channels on Eid to entertain those affected. The efforts of media channels are commendable but the style of assistance was different.

Some news has been heard that there is going to be the misuse of the aid provided by the Gov’t and other bodies. Why does this is going to be? I think the difference in understanding the needs of those affected. If those people are given the prepared foods and the raw material of food, so this is the fair chance to those to sell that. Again, here is the need to understand the fair need of those.

Some days ago, the affected people temporarily settled in Karachi camps protested in front of the Sindh Assembly. Why do at last these is going to be, when it has claimed that they are given every facility at camps. I heard some nice comment from the opposition leader of Sindh assembly that, why do our peoples are settled in camps? He added further that, Are they Afghan or Bangladeshi refugees?

You must be finding the various controversial things that are going to be appear on the flood-affected issues. I will recommend here the Gov’t and concerned authorities to understand the needs of those affected that are compatible in their nature. The issue is severe and the focus is appearing to be deviated. The aid that whole world gave, and the NGOs, and other persons collected must be spent on affected. The Authorities must consult with those and people from their areas to understand the real needs of affected because even though our efforts are a lot but they are one sided act and may be they are not compatible to their life style.
