I was listening to an NPR report on this the other day and both the scope of the disaster and the lack of international response are staggering. The flooding still covers an area the size of Italy and roughly the same number of people as the entire population of Canada are affected.
As the video says, there has been international support, but not at the levels seen in the Haitii earthquake or the tsunami. Some people interviewed have expressed a concern that the money will go to the Taliban but that is NOT the case.
My church, the offers United Church of Christ offers assistance in partnership through Church World Service which has an outstanding record of getting aid to the people who need it.
