Floods in Pakistan
Has anyone been tracking the situation with the floods in Pakistan? It has been an onslaught of water from torrential rains that have continued for over two weeks now. One article from MSNBC.com indicates that while the death toll of 1500 is "relatively small", the disruption and damage it has caused is staggering. 1500 people is 1500 too many...regardless of the opinion that it is a "relatively small" loss. The devastation from the floods is tragic, and what's worse is that the rains continue. Aid trickles in but it's not enough. Infrastructure damages and health hazards impact this area. Please keep these people in your prayers and do what you can to help them.
