D.E.C. APPEALS FOR DONATIONS FOR LATEST FLOOD DISASTER IN PAKISTAN

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) (http://www.dec.org.uk/) are currently appealing for donations to help with humanitarian aid for the victims of the recent tragedy of the Pakistan floods. Please see below for further information on how to make your donation.

Over 1,000 people are reported to have died with that number likely to rise as more information becomes available. About 2.5 million people are believed to have been affected by the floods which may worsen as further rain falls and water moves downstream. In the aftermath of the floods there is a serious risk to survivors from potentially deadly diseases which will spread as a result of contaminated surface and drinking water. 

The Disaster Emergency Committee has opened the ‘DEC Pakistan Floods Appeal’ and special broadcasts will run from Thursday (05.08.10) on the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4, Channel Five and independent radio stations.

The money raised will help fund the life saving work in Pakistan of the DEC’s Members and their partners.

The money raised will support the efforts in Pakistan of the DEC’s members which are the leading UK aid agencies.

Donate now online or call 0370 60 60 900 to speak to the official DEC Donation line
