Dear World Vision Supporter, More than 1,300 people have been killed by flash floods in Pakistan, triggered by monsoon rains of unprecedented force. Millions more have been affected by landslides and contaminated drinking water. Children and families suffering from poor health are most at risk as unhygienic conditions and diseases are spread rapidly.

"There is now a real danger of the spread of water-borne diseases and possibly cholera, as well as complications such as respiratory problems and skin allergies," said Shaharyar Bangash, World Vision's program manager in Peshawar.
"Drinking water is the most urgent need now, even more than food," Bangash says. "Children have been wearing the same muddy clothes for three days now, and many of them have visible skin diseases." Your generous gift of $110, $220 or $550 right now will help children and families impacted by this terrible disaster and whose needs at this very moment are enormous. World Vision will begin distributions of safe drinking water and food as quickly as possible, as well as providing medical assistance, shelter, hygiene kits and other basic relief items. World Vision has been working in Pakistan for almost 20 years, and today we have more than 150 staff on the ground to help thousands. But without your immediate support, our response will be severely limited. Right now every moment matters. Your donation today can make a real difference in so many lives. God bless you for your generosity.  Dave Toycen President, World Vision Canada P.S.: Please click here now or call 1-800-268-1650 to rush emergency assistance to the affected children and families of Pakistan who so urgently need your help. | |||
