As per different reports there are about one million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) as a result of ongoing Swat conflict and recent Army Operation against Militants in Malakand Dvision (Swat, Bonair, Deir).
In October, 2006, during the EarthQuake crisis, Pakistanis did show their strength and unity as a Nation and every one particiapted in the relief efforts for EarthQuake afffectd people in NWFP and Kashmir.
Same spirit is required now and even more, i would say, becasue it is not a result of natural disaster and there is political fall back of current crisis. Already many people are projecting as if Pakhtoons are being let down by rest of the Pakistanis and these perceptions can ultimately harm the ongoing military peration due to loss of support and sympathies of local people.
Please share any suggestions to help these IDPS. If some one knows about releif activites by any organisation, do share the details and possible ways to tke part in their activites.
due to barbaric shelling ( bestowed by evil master) of na pak army so many people have been dispersed. more killing more master’s aid. dont forget general; what goes around comes around.
How to make online donations?
There are a few international charities (UK based) which have now announced appeal for the Swat’s emergency relief activities.

Throw the All afghanies refugees back in afghanistan.
You have enough sources to facilitate the swatis.
you have not any taliban problems afterwards.
What the fvuck the second richist Pakistani is doing abroad.BEGGING?
He is the one s——————————————o———————————–b.doing the same as others did to the country.
First of all the Army should start retaking control of cities in Malakand one by one. They should secure one city by going house to house and making sure there are no sympathisers of Talibans left. Then they should give green light for those citizens to return.
@Zeeshan
I agree with you we should pack up all Afgani’s refugees and take them back to Kabul.
Third we should open the doors to Zardari’s Palace in Dubai. I am sure with his generosity and his co-chairman Bilawal’s they will easily be able to accommodate a good 50,000 refugees.
Those who are left can all share accommodation with every Federal PPP governments mansions in Islamabad.
Come on PPP, we are all Pakistanis, Kapta, Roti, Makan to all displaced Swati’s
It is not only a matter of shame for every Pakistani to find out what is happening today to the Pakhtuns; it CAN HAPPEN tomorrow to any other Pakistani, whether it’s a Punjabi or anybody else from any other province.
It does not matter what happens to any Pakistani or the Pakistan nation as a whole, as long as the bastard West is made happy by the traitors/double-crossers/treasonists & the betrayers EXISTING within us; whether it be President, the PM, or for that matter the Armed Forces Chiefs or their advisers, who are ALL TO SHARE THE BLAME.
During the last earthquake in Pakistan/Azad Kashmir, AL-Rashid Trust of Karachi,Pakistan did wonders in providing relief to nearly all the needy ones, which was also acclaimed & acknowledged by even their ‘perpetually sworn’ enemies, i,e; the Christians of the West & by the Yankees, etc.
One should try & donate to them,too, as they did wonders.
I heard from a friend that a JI affiliate NGO has had the best record of serving in the area. Can anyone post their link and name please.
Is there any way to donate online to a credible organisation for us overseas pakistanis ?
oh thanks savepk !

why there was no pre analysis about this IPD
if the govt had to start this action why there was not enough time given to the civilian people to evacuate..
What ever is done …is just to say that US visit is successful… which by is claimed by every Pak PM and president…
their visit never fails.
These displaced people (refugees) are golden sparrows. We need money from the US. We will spend some 10% of aid on the refugees too.
They are very precious for defense of our country. Like Afghan refugees, they will help flow of US AID into Pakistan and bring in prosperity.
If there was peace in the 80s, we couldn’t have got F 16. Our army should keep on creating such problems so that we could black mail the world and scare them of terrorists. Some money for fighting Taliban and some money for refugees! What else do we need?
Civil Wars = More dollars… Strong Army…. Better Defense.
Pak Generals Zindabad
This is really where we should all come together to help our fellow countrymen .
My question is why the Government is not doing enough?
They should do more and must be seen doing more.
This is an unfortunate fallout of a misguided few.
Only the Army and the Government are in a better position to help these people to get through these difficult times.
We should press upon them to step up their efforts.

As someone who was somewhat involved in the rescue for the Earthquake victims- the tremendous amount of money that was put forth by the people of Pakistan- only a bit if it got to the victims. Those that were smart enough to donate items got their stuff to those that needed them- even though some of those items sold on the LUNDA bazars.
So now we have a GOVT which no one trusts- which has no legitimacy or credibility- is creating a situation of a military operation in order to make Zardari look good while in America–( Times of London )( and the Americans know this too ).
Oh now all of us should rise and help the people of Buner and Swat – so that the GOVT can look good and competent and so the govt can get more money from the world for the humanitarian disaster that they have caused.
And why we are in trouble !
@admin
Thanks a lot admin for starting this thread on such a short notice and for considering my comment… I really appreciate it
- It is very appreciating that Pakistanis are feeling the pain and hardships of the displaced brothers and sisters.
- By the way our PM gave statements like Sultan Rahi that we will wipe out Taliban and Army should move and finish them but now he must share his money , house, food etc with those displaced! Why not? Mr. Prime Minister was very emotional against Talibans but where were his emotions when USA has been killing Pakistanis through drone attacks, why has he not visited the refugees camps so far, why does he not live and sleep with the refugees, why is there not FIR registered for the murder of Benazir, why is he quiet at the grave corruption of Mr. Zardari, why is he silent at the civil dictatorship of Mr. Zardari who is bypassing every institution of Pakistan, why people can’t see his army of ministers working for the nation??? The is fact that our dear Prime minister has hands cuffed and he just can wear beautiful dresses and move between mainlyLHR, MULTAN and Islamabad etc!
- Why is Mr. Zardari making the contracts on the behalf of whole nation, bypassing and sidelining even the Parliament? Why our parliament is like of worth zero? Why do people not question his doings, corruption and stupidities? When will we stand up against his corruption and the process of selling Pakistan?
- Pakistan Army is so obedient to the orders of externally controlled government but why do they not question the doings and stupidities of government e.g what Mr. Zardari and his cronies are doing? They do have right for that! don’t they? Army has to be clear that Taliban are those people who have been undefeated against super powers so what Army wants to achieve through these operation! Is our Army doing all those actions to make external powers happy or to satisfy stupid and corrupt rulers? we must not forget that those externals powers which we take as our well wishers will slaughter us if we got weaker, they will show any mercy on us! don’t forget how did they treat Saddam Hussain, one example out of many. So people be very clear that who our friends are really!!! I am no supporter of wrong doings of Talibans or any one else but to kill them indiscriminately is extremely dangerous and unfair. Army is trained to sustain the pressures so they should not bow down to unjustified external and internal pressures.
- Our politicians who have millions should spend their amounts on Pakistanis and those who are displaced! what kind of leaders they are if they can’t support people in difficulties? are they there only to drink blood of poor people? strange!
- This is the test of rich people of Pakistan that how do they help their poor fellows! will they pass this test?
most probably not, they are senseless in general.

zaheer sahib,They are not a bunch of fools,they are politician and industrialists,they only know how to get loans from governament and how to get muaafee for these loans.
just tell them any new way to rob the governament.
Just ask a person,Named MAULANA FAZL UR RAHMAN,you can get the answer.
@zahidbinmustafa, Thanks alot for the links.
I was involved with the earthquake relief work and I agree after initial response the homeless were left to their own devices. It is time for all those champions of human rights to come out and support their country men and women in their hour of need. In fairness they did mobilize at the time of the Earthquake.
I hope the military wraps up the operation in the next few days and it is vital that they return to baracks within a few weeks. I hope there is someone with the vision to realise that the Nation has not given them a blank cheque and a licence to kill.
I am extremely disgusted with the leadership of PMLN. I have not yet heard anything from any of their leaders that would convince me that they will be any more competent then the present nincompoops.
@Pakboy thanks for the link.
I don’t know where to start. How incompetent and inefficient this govt. really is? It could not foresee the IDP issue when launching a major military operation in a knee-jerk fashion. If it was not more disturbing, the media is opening lines for Pakistanis to send messages on “Mother’s Day”.
How insensible, how devoid of any human compassion. Seeing the old and children literally walking their way to safety only to end up in more misery. There is no line open to request for even verbal support for the people who are refugees within their own land (?).
I have lost my belief in Pakistan and more so in the people of Pakistan. I don’t wish anyone to go through the same situation but I don’t wish to be represented by the Pakistani leadership anymore. Apko aap ka Pakistan apne baghairat aur dalle leadero samaith Mubarak ho.
One of the problems that is going to become obvious very soon has not been touched upon in all the comments made so far.
And that is that most of the IDPs in this case live on higher altitudes- and thus in cooler weather . Now they are in the plains where the temp is in 110 plus degrees F. When you are used to living in temps of around 75 to 80 degrees F- it is tough to live in the hotter climate.
Add to that living in a tent- and since I HAVE lived in a tent for a while in hot weather- I can tell you that it is impossible .
Add to that the issue of BURKA and Hijab for women- well you get the picture.
When people are in such situations- their anger threshold is low and that does not bode well for those that have brought this scenario on these people.
All the world’s money and donations CANNOT help that.
The best help is that they can return to their homes as soon as possible.
Can we expect that from the incompetents ruling the country ?
I have my doubts.
@all
please donate to organisations in this manner

u may dislike them. but they do their jobs well,and their is a proper audit. rests are thugs.
Too Sad, Pakistan army is repeating his East Pakistan role in NWFP. It didn’t learn any lesson from the history. It doesn’t differentiate b/w Talaban and innocent citizens. It started the operation without any approval of the government and without any public support. It claims to kill Talaban but actually it is killing innocent people of Pakistan just to get US $$$. This is the only army that conquers its own country after every five years and kills his citizens for money.
O ALLAH SAVE MY PAKISTAN AND ITS PETRIOTIC PEOPLE.
I am looking for oonline donations to some charity in pak checked alkhidmat and edhi they dun have online donations any link for online donations will be highly appreciated. Wont donate toPTI thanks in advance
Retd. Gen. Farooq you are Head of Management Disaster Cell, it is understood you are representative of Elite of this country moreover you live only in this country to participate in TV Discussion, sit only in Air-conditioned Rooms, ride with full of luxurious cars above all you people are resident of sort of PALACE type Bang-low.
Your Excellency where are you, would you kindly pay attention a little bit on this above cited?
It is truly disgusting and disappointing to see the above comments against the army and law enforcement agencies. None of the above “aflatoons” had the brains to criticize the source of the latest problem, the Taliban. The above comments against the army speaks volumes of the lack of understanding, lack of patience and the tendency to huddle like sheep rather than objectively understanding the situation. The army officers and jawans fighting in that region have all left their homes and their families to fight for you and they are also getting killed in the process only for your sake and it is shameful that the taliban lovers are bashing the soldiers for this. Lack of professionalism or incompetence apart but to suggest that the entire army has acquired mad cow disease and is beginning to pound its areas just to get dollars is stupidity of monumental proportions. It is this tendency to raise hue and cry in the middle of military operations that takes the support and steam out of the operation leaving everything in the middle and creating a bigger fuss. For such situations understand some of the basic things:
1- This is war and in wars bullets and bombs are exchanged not chocolates and flowers. As a result there will be blood and gory scenes. Act like men and stand to fight the enemy rather than crowing on internet forums and bashing the soldiers who are fighting away from their homes and children for your sake.
2- Understand the nature of today’s wars. Today’s wars accompany collateral damage no matter how much you try to avoid it and no matter how much sophisticated weapons you use. Just look at the collateral damage few days back in Afghanistan at the hand of Nato troops leaving 130 dead and Nato militaries are equipped with the most sophisticated smart guided weapons. Incidents of western soldiers getting killed in friendly fire are also commonly known. Collateral damage accompanies war. You cannot avoid it. We can try to limit it and I will list some suggestions below. Just look at Sri Lanka’s current situation. They are also facing a similar situation but they haven’t decreased the intensity of operations against the Tamil Tigers in spite of all the collateral damage. There are no good choices only bad ones and you have to choose the least bad one. If today you accept the loss of 5000 lives you are essentially saving 50,000 of the future.
3- Understand that a major reason of collateral damage is because the extremist rebels are holed up in dense civilian populations leaving no option but to strike them.
4- There will be refugees in any war today. Refugees are there in Indian Occupied Kashmir, Azad Kashmir, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Sri Lanka, Darfur, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine etc. Its not that Pakistan is a special case. Raise the morale of the public. Give support to the army so that the operation is finished as soon as possible. If we deny them support then this operation is sure to get messed up. Raise the morale of the public rather than wailing as old women. Support the refugees in every possible way but urge them to have faith in the government. If at this stage you get confused and spread confusion you will have more blood and more violence. Now that the operation has started the debate should be finished and should be left to be taken up once the war ends. While you are in a state of war such pathetic commentary only confuses the public, creates indecision, lowers morale and increases the period of conflict.
5- Understand that its not a normal situation therefore think and act realistically that refugees cannot be given the comfort of home. Nobody likes to leave his home. Its always difficult. Do not raise the expectations and demands too much. The refugees will face difficulty, help them in this time, give them psychological support, give the government support in dealing with this crisis, volunteer for the task and don’t just sit back and criticize. Thats the easiest thing to do. The refugees do not want to go to tents because of religious and cultural reasons. But think practically, the government cannot set up homes for the refugees. No government of the world is capable of doing that. Just look at US response to Hurrican Katrina and you’ll know the limitations of any government. All the commentators and pseudo-intellectuals who derive pleasure and business out of unreasonable bashing – have a doze of common sense.
6- Understand the jobs of various departments. It is not the job of the army to settle refugees. The civilian departments do that. If they are doing a poor job in that why blame the army?
7- The poor planning and execution of the government must be noted and should be communicated in such a way that it does not deflate the morale and momentum of the operation.
8- Do NOT let Talibans be heroes. These guys need to be crushed once and for all. Commentators like Irfan Siddiqi, Ansar Abbasi, Imran Khan (yes I included him in list of commentators and not politicians), Qazi Hussein and Munawwar Hassan should be ashamed of themselves for putting their petty politics and personal egos and small mentalities before larger national good and creating doubts about the military operation while it is under way. Its a simple common sense rule. Once you commit to a military decision do not look back. Carry it to completion. Turning half the way through ALWAYS results in loss in military science.
9- Next time when you vote, don’t vote on “Jiye Bhutto” or “Bacha Khan” slogans rather remember which leadership and which political party was the most effective and mature.
10- Understand how peace is established: either by surrendering before the enemy or defeating him completely. You have only two choices, there is no third. Which one will you choose. (Hint: At least for once use your brains army bashers and taliban lovers!!!).
I am just surprised by the timing of the operation.
Before the BEGGER started his visit the great operation started without even preparing for human crisis of IDP. Why they did all this in a hurry. At the cost of 1.9 Billion. Begger could have sold his own mama for that price.
How many foriegner terrorists the Govt. claimed in the region. About 2000.
Cia agent Rehman Malik said that 700 insurgents have been killed. Why they are not putting out the info and pictures of insurgents in media. Tell the public look these are the terrorists that have been killed during the operation but we did not see any info. Why Govt. is hiding the facts?
I can see some crocodile tears coming out from the stooges for the loss of innocent civilians lives and also for the sufferings inflicted on the poor people.
What if the 2000 insurgents get in Islamabad then they will use the same force to kill them and say the same its ok there is some collateral damage. Son of President daughter of PM and family of few generals have been killed in an operation as a colateral damage. Will they pay the price for the national interest. “HYPOCRATES”.
THOUSANDS IN PAKISTAN NEED YOUR HELP TODAY

You can donate online through the website.
Also, specially for those working abroad, please don’t forget to contact your HR. Most companies have donation matching programs, so definitely worth finding out about that.
Every displaced Pakistani is sacred, we must not fail them.
Its a very very sad moment for us, and at the same time the whole nation should come out donate some amount to save these innocent childern and women. People in Islamabd, Lahore and Karachi should think of these innocent people and apply these conditions to themselves.
Govt did every thing in haste to please their masters in West and people like Sufi were wrongly chosen as the aribitraror between the Talibs and Security forces. He is an ineffective person to control the Talibs and Govt. used him as a scapegoat.
Where are the guys who in this forum support the mililtary action. I just ask them to send their own little kids in those area and then see what happens to them. They will return with trauma that will sit in their memories and will keep on haunting them all along their life.
http://www.thenews.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=176945
Due to seriousness of the situation in tribal areas being under operation against Talibans , almost All leaders of political parties are visiting effected areas to see the miserable situation of the effecties and to show their sympathy for them and also possible reliefs i.e. IK just visited Sawabi and other areas, NS is also on visit currently…
Unfortunately, i could not see any movement from “Chachu Mushraff”.
Where are u Chachu?
Come out and go to those areas to see the migrants… how they are surviving in Tents..
I am sure they will welcome you with “Open Arms”………
I have an idea for the Pak Govt. Why they donot just bomb London with Nukes in order to kill the great terrorist Kala NAG. Rest we consider as colateral damage. I guess G. Brown should back up the operation.
Finally, the FM said that weapons are coming from Afghanistan. Oh really!!! FM Qureshi you really think weapons are coming from Afghanistan. We thought Talibans were cultivating weapons in the fields. or Might Osama is building all these weapons in a secret factory located in tora bora.
How about these masked people among Talibans. Where they are coming from? Why they are so afraid that they have to hide their identities? Since they are so brave and ready to lay down their lives then I donot understand on contrary why they hide themselves with masks.
Mr. FM will you through some light on this issue or you have some courage to say the TRUTH. or just say Foreign hands and I wonder that they only know the hands and not the rest of the foreign body. The great R. Malik always memtion about foreign hand involvement. We found the hand and we are still looking for the rest of the body. Ok hold on we just found the body (1.9 Billion Master!!!! Yes Master !!we know now what to say) the body belongs to Talibans.Talibans Talibans.Talibans . Even the foreign hand belongs to Talibans. Talibans dropped the Atomic bombs on Japan. Talibans are Barbaric. Talibans killed innocent people in Salvador. Talibans invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Talibans are slitting people’s throats.
NA session is called today to discuss the situation in Swat and other parts of malakand. Woah!!! thats great !!! Govt. is ahead of every thing.
Pakistanis have come out of that ominous state of baffled, bamboozled and befuddled apathy and now showing the signs of the unity and sacrifice of 8th October, 2005 earthquake. Especially the people of Swabi, Mardan and the suburbia villages have set an example of extreme human sacrifice and the bigheartedness.
More than 1 million people have migrated from the Buner and Swat and Lower Dir and .5 million of these people have absorbed in the homes of people of Swabi, Mardan and the nearby villages. Natives of these areas have opened up their homes for the IDPs and they are sharing their beds, food, shelter and everything with these immigrants. Poor people of these areas are sacrificing their livestock, cooking them and bringing them to the camps of IDPs.
http://www.pakspectator.com/unprecedented-passions-of-swabi-and-mardan-people-for-swat-idps/
This whole situation is once again showing that Pakistani nation stands united in the time of crisis. No political leader like Prime Minister, or President or any opposition leader has visited these camps, while the people are helping each other at their own. NGOs and welfare organizations are doing their bit.
Pity such a brave, bighearted and great nation has such pygmies for leaders.
@scary… i agreee…. also your suggestion applies to Mian’s Raiwind palace… and Chaudhry’s Spain palaces…
Assalam o Allikum!
Feel the grief of your brothers and sisters from swat.
=====================================
After the formal announcement of military operation in swat, your prayers are needed for the people who can’t afford to escape from there homeland the Switzerland of Pakistan.
They are waiting to sacrifice for Pakistan. You may know that only in two days more than 200 people mostly women and children died due to shilling by army gunship helicopters, jet fighters and mortars in just one city mingora.
The people of swat are displaced by the army from there homes not by Taliban.
Yesterday my relatives migrated from the migora city, they reached to Peshawar in 20 hours (which is hardly a 3 hours distance) due to the reason that the roads were completely jammed due to migration of large number of people from the area.
Pakistani army is the unique army of the world who kill there people for dollars.
Yaqub Ahmad belongs to Swat.
The only solution is to get rid of these monkeys from the power corridors! We can discuss up and down but as long these idiots are there no solution to major issues can be acheived.
How can 170 million people tolerate Zardari as their master??? It is a shame!
@ jojo
I have supported milatry action with a heavy heart and I will explain my reasons. Before I recieve a barrage of abuse please read my resons for supporting the Milatry action.
The TTP is working with external forces and tapped into the national mood and people’s disgust with the incompetent rulers. When they refused to lay down arms after the Nizam-e-Adil declaration it became clear to me that they are thugs who will not settle for anything less then absolute power.
Sufi Mohammad declared a rebellion against the state which can’t be acceptable. Anyone could have a difference of opinion but we have to resolve our difference within the frame work of the state and the constitution. There is a mechanism for change in the constitution and that should be followed. I don’t mind if tomorrow the constitution is ammended according to will of the people of course within the frame work of the state.
These Fasid “Taliban” are a bunch of miscreants who are tapping into the Anti American feelings of the people and they are working to the American agenda and here is how.
1. They want to spread chaos in the country.
2. They want to draw away the attention of the intenational press from the main battlefield (Afghanistan)
3. They drain away the resources of the real Taliban in Afghanistan by creating a diversion in Pakistan and usruping the resorces of the real Taliban. Remeber Mullah Umar has repeatedly dissociated himself from TTP.
As regards send kids to the area I hope to be going there myself to witness and participate in the relief efforts.
I am by no means a pro PPP / Army / American and I have a track record to prove this.

There is nothing worse for a nation than weak and incompetent leaders and even more worse when elected by their own people
Anyways according to Talat Hussain analysis on US aid package to Pakistan we are only worth 2 Rupee per day.
Just feel the pain and sufferings of peopl eof Swat and Malakand. You will know the answers of all the questions. American agents like Zardari will have to pay the price. But what is the role of the others?
I just like to say to everybody, please donate only to well known aid agencies, I seen on other sites people pasting links that I never heard before, so just a reminder because some people are ripping off people in the name of aid. Here are couple links well known who are working in Swat and Malakand division.

Where are the NGOs opposing the peace deal now…?
When we have a humanitarian crises at hand, do we see them anywhere or speaking about this issue on the media…
Such hypocrites…
About the biggest begger of our country and the biggest baighairat, the following link must be a surprise…
http://www.aaj.tv/news/National/135978_detail.html
It describes about the 1.9 billion $ package and its breakdown.. the interesting part about it is that 897 m$ is going to be spent on the security of US consulates throughout the country… and only a meager 597 m$ to be spent on the economy and other issues…
Way to go beggers… give them more blood… since the americans have got such a cheap bargain this time…
I have always good faith on Islamic Relief, they have lowest over head distributing the funds, I sent them an email requiring about the Swat crises, here is what they replied.
Assalaamu ‘ Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuhu !
Thank you for your email. Yes, we are responding to this emergency. Information will be posted on our website (www.irw.org) and we will send out emails within the next few hours, insha’a Allah.

the enesthusiaism of 1947 is need of the time
Of course, we really need the enesthusiaism of 1947 but remember we spend 80% of our budget on military for the defence of our borders and for the protection of our citizens. Sorry to say our military is killing innocent citizens rather than killing talban.
Military actions were wrong if people already were secured and living in peace.

Dear saba,
We thought you would like to know that Tanya has posted to the group “The Pakistan Cafe.”
In a post titled “Help the Internally Displaced People of Pakistan – Efforts in UAE, Pakistan and across the world,” Tanya wrote:
Please share this information with others or tag as many people on your list to this note. Spread the word. This is expected to be the largest internal displacement of people in Pakistan’s history after the 1947 partition, and the second largest in the world, with the exception of Rwanda.
If you have any more details to share then please go ahead and post it.
The latest official UN figures record in excess of 500.000 internally displaced people (IDPs) in NWFP. Unofficial estimates from Local Government officials today describe up-to one million people as being displaced, of which approximately 80 per cent are not in camps. The increasing security risks have reduced the ability of humanitarian agencies to respond effectively just as the need for support by the affected population has increased.

NOTE: Please make sure that you donate aid to credible, well known organizations or initiatives wherein you’re assured that the aid will reach the intended. According to a friend in Islamabad, they are some who are exploiting the situation by setting up fake camps with Pathans from Kachi Abadis. Verification is extremely important by donors, even after any one of us lists information.

PAKISTANI ASSOCIATION DUBAI – UAE
The Pakistani Association in Dubai has set up a Relief Camp and are asking people to donate the following.
However, some details are still being worked upon and will be decided within a day or so. Namely, the following:
- Once collected, which aid organization/s will the collected items be donated to?
- Also, which camps will the aid be sent to?This, ofcourse, could or will depend upon the selected organization working locally.
Once, I get the complete details to the questions above, I will list the information. I’m putting up this flyer right now because presently this is the only initiative being run for the IDPs in the UAE (or that I know of).
If you would like to donate before hand, I would STRONGLY urge you to call in and get answers to all your questions.
Once satisfied, please DONATE and kindly spread the word.

Volunteers – Voice of the Civil Society
Type: Causes – Fundraiser
Network: Global
Start Time: Friday, May 15, 2009 at 10:00am
End Time: Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 5:00pm
Location: Carlton Hotel, Karachi
City/Town: Karachi, Pakistan
Email: hadiakhan@gmail.com [9]
Dear Citizens of the World,
We are a group of concerned citizens by the name of “Voice of the Civil Society”. VOTCS, earlier organized a hugely successful mass letter campaign to the President, PM, CJ and COAS protesting against atrocities committed against the people of Sawat and other areas.
The time has come to support and help our countrymen in a more consolidated manner. These are citizens of Pakistan, who are desperate and living under miserable conditions in camps and make-shift abodes. Visualize an environment where they don’t have a roof over their head and no basic needs (food, medicines and education for their children) being fulfilled.
PLEASE DON’T LET THE TALIBAN’S TURN AROUND AND TELL THE IDP’S THAT THEY WERE ABONDANED BY THE CIVIL SOCIETY!!! We have done the easy part by lodging our protest to the relevant authorities against the Taliban’s, but the actual people suffering need our help. So here is the plan;
We are setting up a donation camp at the Carlton Hotel – Karachi, from May 15 to 17 of May, 2009 (Between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m). We will be collecting the following items for the internally displaced people (IDP) from Sawat, Buner and other areas who are pouring in to Islamabad and other areas. WE WILL BE MORE AFFECTIONATE TOWARDS INDIVIDUALS, WHO OFFER CASH DONATIONS!!!!!
Note : For Tents – we are looking at cash donations as these would be bought on the spot.
We have found individuals working (round the clock) in Islamabad, who will go where the IDP’s are located and distribute the above mentioned items to the best of their capability (They have honed their skills of distribution from their experience gained at the time of the Kashmir earthquake.)

ISLAMIC RELIEF USA
Over 1 Million Pakistanis Forced to Flee; Islamic Relief USA Launches
Emergency Appeal
Intensified fighting in North West Pakistan has displaced an estimated
1.3 million people according to the United Nations Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA).
UN estimates claim that 800,000 have fled in the last few days alone.
Islamic Relief has launched an initial emergency appeal of $750,000 to
provide immediate support. Give now to help families forced to flee!
As more families leave the Swat area, they are flooding emergency
camps with little more than the clothes on their backs.
According to aid workers on the ground, an estimated 80% of those
displaced are children.
“The conditions in the camps are very difficult, especially for the
children. Many have fled the fighting in their home villages and have
travelled long distances on foot to reach these camps. In the camps
they lack proper water and sanitation facilities, as well as food and
healthcare,” said Niyaz Muhammad, an Islamic Relief aid worker in
Pakistan.
Islamic Relief’s initial emergency support will provide vital and
immediate assistance to over 11,000 displaced families, including
blankets, clothing, cooking sets, clean water supplies, and
psychosocial support for children.
Your help is urgently needed to provide for conflict-affected
families.

ADAL TRUST
Hello friends,
I just received the following note from an old friend of mine in Islamabad. I would really appreciate it if you could put out this information on your e-mail networks. This is a very worthy cause, and I personally know these people for over 30 years. Everything they do is with utmost transparency, almost nil administrative cost, no red-tape…they physically take the donations and personally supervise their distribution.
As most of you are aware through following the news, Pakistan is experiencing the largest displacement of its populations due to the Taliban encroachment and resulting military action in Swat Valley and other areas of the Northern Frontier bordering Afghanistan. This displacement is developing into the second largest in the Region, following the Partition of India and Pakistan in 1947.
In the light of this alarming Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) crisis, it falls on every person concerned with humanitarian issues, to pool our energies and come together, to try to alleviate at least the immediate needs of these displaced people. I urge you to put in the extra time and effort required in getting this fund-raising effort off the ground, there is no time for procrastination, the crisis is now and needs to be addresses on a war-footing.
I have added Adal Trust’s contacts below. Personally I use Western Union for money transfers, it is fast, safe and involves minimum red-tape and low charges. If you like you may channel the transfer through myself, I will send you a receipt and send it together with my donation.
Many thanks for your attention.
Kiran
Adal Trust, Islamabad – registered in 1999.
This Trust was created in 1999 to provide regular assistance,(on a monthly basis) to people living below …. well below the poverty line in the semi-rural areas surrounding Islamabad.
This trust tries to ensure that children have access to school, the sick can have some access to medicines, and the disabled can have food to eat.
While the IDP crisis is taking place… we at Adal, are focusing on the relief camps being set up to alleviate the crisis, which is very obviously beyond the scope or capacity of the government to tackle alone.
We are collecting money for the IDPs, so please donate generously. We will ensure that the money and relief goods are delivered into the hands of those most in need of them, and will try our best to work directly with those most affected without intermediaries.
At the present time, government refugee camps are full… people are sleeping on streets under the open sky, enduring high temperatures. Food, water, medical supplies, clothing, fuel etc. are all in short supply, only good for a few days support at the most. Government schools have been opened up to accommodate some of the IDPS.
We at Adal are putting together emergency relief packages that will contain emergency supplies – dry rations along with cotton mattresses, water coolers, plastic plates, cups, utensils, soap, mosquito repellent, etc.
We are estimating each package to cost a minimum of Rs.3000 the dry rations will be barely enough for one week.
We would like to appeal you to come forward and donate generously and also to circulate this appeal widely amongst your network of friends and family. It is more cost effective for us to receive lump sums to make the preparation of the emergency relief packages easier. We suggest that you put together a group of donors : 10 or more and send donations together with the names so we can issue letters of acknowledgment.
Adal trust is a registered, charitable organisation and is subject to yearly audits.
Thank you,
Fatima Hamid (on behalf of Adal Trust)

HUMAN APPEAL INTERNATIONAL
URGENT APPEAL
The current crisis in Northern Pakistan is escalating. Currently over 350 000 people have been registered as displaced at refugee camps but as numbers rise a million people are expected to become internally displaced and have nowhere to go.
“The floodgates are opening whenever there`s a curfew lifted and thousands and thousands of people are on the roads”. [Killian Kleinschmidt UNHCR]
These hundreds of thousands of people carrying very few basic belongings have fled their homes with nothing to help them survive. They do not know where they will go or what they will do tomorrow. Pakistan already suffers from severe poverty and there is a greater threat for the loss of lives & increase in extreme poverty due to this refugee crisis.
Human Appeal International responded immediately and £150 000 has been allocated in providing aid such as food blankets clothes and temporary shelters.
We urgently need your support. Please DONATE NOW!
Human Appeal International is working on the ground.

I have an easy solution to this crisis if the Govt. really willing to help the IDPs with dignity.
WHY THEY DONOT OPEN THE DOOR OF ALL THE BIG GOVT. BUILDINGS LIKE NWFP GOVERNOR HOUSE, CM HOUSE,PROVISIONAL ASSEMBLY, COMISSIONER HOUSES ETC. THE SAME IN BALUCHISTAN, PUNJAB AND SINDH. ALSO PM HOUSE AND PRESIDENCY IN ISLAMABAD AND OTHER BIG BUILDINGS.
1. It is only for few weeks / months.
2. All the buildings are equipped with every facility.
3. people will be treated in a dignified manner.
4. These buildings anyway belongs to the people of Pakistan.
5. It will show sincerity from Govt. part and also solidarity to the IDPs.
6. it will mobilize people of Pakistan more to help their brothers and sisters.
Govt. Just stop the crocodile tears and take some action. This is the time to act and not just talk B.S. THINK AND THINK TWICE IF YOUR OWN FAMILY IS SUFFERING FROM THIS CRISIS WILL YOU PUT THEM IN TENTS WITH NO FACILITIES.
This is the chance Allah has given you to do something good for the mankind.
@BABU FROM USA
very good suggestion…but Alas wont happen…should but wont
btw Mr Asif Nero Zar-dari & NS being the richest people in Pakistan should open their wallets…whats a few hundred million to them…
I think there is enough land in both Nawabshah (& Larkana) and Jaati Amra that some of these people can stay there …
But most of all where is the Pakistani awam….why dont we see a repeat of earthquake relief effors? leave your TV & computer go out and help…or go online and help … like the prophet said “give charity even if its half a date”….
Our Napak Army stands gutless to stop the drone attacks. They can only challenge a handful of local figthers and cause havoc to the local population. Does not defending the country against foreign drone attacks come within the purview of estalishing the writ of this idiotic government. I think in the history of Pakistan we have never come across such criminal incompetancy!!
