 Inundated, marginalized, hapless Pakistani Christians are still in dire need of help

Karachi / Pakistan : Despite the claims of many governmental and none governmental organizations (NGOs) to have helped all of the flood stricken people of Pakistan, irrespective of their faith, ANS has discovered that in the country’s devastated Sindh province, food and help is still being sought by a large majority of its

Christians.

This news was given to ANS by the Rev. Khadim Bhutto, head of Global Vision Gospel Ministries (GVGM) in Pakistan, in an interview in which he said that his team of workers had visited many flood-stricken Christian villages and had found that Christians were still living in "appalling conditions" although flood waters had started to recede.

The Rev. Bhutto went on to say that “flood waters have swept away Church buildings, Christian residential areas, and crops worth thousands of Pakistani Rupees,” and now these Christians “were compelled to live in deplorably pathetic conditions.”

He added that local believers were in “urgent need” of tents, mattresses, clean drinking water, medicine, blankets (as winter is approaching), mosquito nets (to prevent malaria and dengue fever), cots/beds, toilet disposals, water tanks, crockery, hygienic kits, soap/ shampoo, warm clothes and books and stationary for the children to keep up with their education.
