ADC DC Area Chapter

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) calls on all people to extend support to the 20+ million people affected by the worst monsoon floods in Pakistan’s history.  These floods are the most devastating natural disaster in recent history with 20% of the country submurged (imagine Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Arkansas all underwater).

The United Nations has characterized the destruction caused by the floods in Pakistan as greater than the damage from the 2004 Asian tsunami, the 2005 Pakistan earthquake, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake combined. Yet nearly three weeks since the floods began, aid is trickling in slowly and reluctantly to the United Nations, NGOs, and the Pakistani government.

Pakistani victims need a lot more help and they need it NOW!
