“Never Surrender”
Corey Hart
Just a little more time is all we’re asking for
Cause just a little more time could open closing doors
Just a little uncertainty can bring you down
And nobody wants to know you now
And nobody wants to show you how
So if you’re lost and on your own
You can never surrender
And if your path won’t lead you home
You can never surrender
And when the night is cold and dark
You can see, you can see light
Cause no-one can take away your right
To fight and never surrender
With a little perserverence you can get things down
Without the blind adherence that has conquered some
And nobody wants to know you now
And nobody wants to show you how
So if you’re lost and on your own
You can never surrender
And if your path won’t lead you home
You can never surrender
And when the night is cold and dark
You can see, you can see light
Cause no-one can take away your right
To fight and never surrender, to never surrender

This is comparably the WORST natural disaster Pakistan has faced. Several reports indicate upwards of 14 million people being affected, many of whom will continue fasting for Ramadan, though they may not even have food to break their daily fast.
See this infographic of international contributions (commitments that may or may not see the light of day) Sadly, only a combined total of $55.6 M as of Tuesday.
“Within the first 10 days of the 2005 Pakistan earthquake, which left 3.5 million people homeless, the international community had committed $247m and pledged £45m… In the first 10 days of Cyclone Nargis, which affected 2.4 million people when it struck Myanmar [Burma], almost $110m was committed and $109m pledged.” Oxfam said. Likewise, $742m was committed to Haiti and $920m pledged after the earthquake there in January.
About 14 million people have now been affected by the flooding, and about 1,600 people killed. Both figures are expected to rise in the coming days. Pakistan’s federal flood commission estimated that 300,000 homes have been destroyed or seriously damaged so far and 2.6m acres (105,000 sq km) of croplands submerged.
“Six million [of the 14 million affected] are children and 3 million women of child-bearing age. This is a higher figure than in the 2005 south Asia tsunami.” the UN’s humanitarian affairs co-ordination office said.
Neva Khan, Oxfam country director in Pakistan, said: “The rains are continuing and [with] each hour that passes the flooding is multiplying misery across the entire country. This is a mega disaster and it needs a mega response.”
To date, only five countries – Britain, the US, Australia, Italy and Kuwait – have committed or pledged more than $5m in new funding.
“Everyone – donors, the UN, aid agencies, the government – all of us need to shift gear on this crisis,” Khan said. “This is the biggest disaster in the world right now and we all need to get behind it.”

One of the hardest hit areas is the Northwest, ironically the heartland of the Pakistani Taliban and other insurgents. The article also brings up the fact that the Pakistani Taliban is urging the state to not take international or western money, but instead it is stepping in and shouldering the burden of financing relief efforts.

>v< this is masamune~ Also wish I can get to see Yukimura.
Recently, the continued rain plus the after effects of the earthquake from 08 had caused giant mudslides which killed up to 1239 people, with 500+ missing. The nation decided for today to be the national day of mourning for those innocent victims, so I shall also follow this and mourn.
I hever believe in karma, since it does not explain why the US isn’t in a storm of disasters. Then, it can only be coincidences. But there is always a saying in Chinese which I deeply believe, “If you survive large disasters, there must be good things coming up”. It’s always proven true for me, and will prove true for China.
YOU CAN DO IT CHINA!
