Everyone hates these people.
The flooding just keeps getting worse and worse. On Saturday, the UN estimated that 4 million people were affected by the flooding in Pakistan. By Sunday they revised that estimate to 6 million people. Today, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that over 13 million people are affected.
It is no wonder that a UN officials are saying this is bigger than the 2004 tsunami. In fact, that would make it bigger than the combined number of people affected by the Tsunami, Haiti earthquake and 2005 Kashmir earthquake…combined. Make no mistake: this is the worst natural disaster in recent history. Here is a map of affected areas from OCHA. That is alot of tragedy.
Where are all the fundraisers with Hollywood movie stars crying about the massive human suffrage? Where’s the super mega concert with U2, Coldplay, Jay-Z, Kayne West, and every other A-plus musician? Where’s the commercials interrupting the NFL Hall of Fame game asking people to donate to rebuild a village?
Oh, that’s right, people only give a shit about Pakistan when Al Qaeda’s involved.
