Pakistan Floods: How to Help - Today's Washington Post contains a listing of organizations that are taking donations for the Pakistan flood relief effort. The list contains contact information for each organization. Most major dailies are reporting that the United Nations has estimated it will take $240 million to help the more than 14 million people affected by the flooding during the next 90 days. The Post also reports that the U.S. rescue effort so far has "has earned rare and almost universal praise here (Pakistan) for acting quickly to speed aid to those hit hardest".

nice comments guys.. really... lets stop to think for a second that it was the U.S that forced pakistan to help them with this b.s "war on terror" aka as war supported by the brain washed people who do not know what their country is really fighting for. since pakistan is helping the u.s by assigning troops to the norther part of pakistan to fight the taliban, the people of pakistan do no trust their government and now pakistan has more than 30 terrorist groups. So it is definetely up to you the u.s to help out pakistan because they need pakistan to be one of their many puppet countries. How about we all blame our problems on "terrorist and taliban"

Sorry but didnt the US just authorise USD7.5b to Pakistan over the next five years? This is on top of the USD10b that was given to Pakistan during the Bush Administration.

Simpler way, Pakistan cuts back on the corruption, stealing, and money to the Taliban and diverts it for a couple weeks to helping their own citizens.
