REALLY I GOT FED UP! I LOOK AT THOSE WHO SURVIVED THE EARTHQUAKE IN PAKISTAN AND I JUST THINK: WHY ARE THEY STILL SUFFERING?
I KNOW THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE DOING THINGS. BUT THE OTHER DAY I WENT TO A FLEA MARKET AND SAW PEOPLE SELLING WINTER CLOTHES BLANKETS AND WARM CLOTHES THAT CAN'T REALLY BE USED HERE FOR 4 AND 5 DIRHAMS. I THOUGHT, WHY NOT SEND THESE SAME THINGS TO PAKISTAN? SO I WROTE A LETTER TO KHALEEJ TIMES AND THEY DIDN'T PUBLISH IT. WHY?
Has anyone in UAE ever experienced an earthquake? Well, maybe not. If they had, maybe then there would be an UAE contingent set up at in Pakistan for the duration of the winter. I know many have given, but imagine that even the mountains are swaying to and fro. The mere psychological effects of having survived an earthquake is more then enough stress, and to be homeless and cold and watching your children die, your husband die, your mother die, your wife die, your father die, and your neighbor die; this is what is happening.
The notion that Pakistan is the land of the terrorists and that maybe they deserve what they got is something that puny human minds cannot decree.
I am sure that there are many of us who have winter clothes from our home countries (Europe, Shamsiyya, America, etc) blankets, sheets, mittens, gloves, socks and boots, caps, hats, and scullies. I appeal to all of you to LET THEM GO TO PAKISTAN. You will get more. YOU CAN GET MORE. Homes and shops were destroyed. So, even if someone had money to buy something, where would they go? There are no mega malls in Jabel Hafeet, so why would there be any in the Himalayas?
Make yourself feel good, add a brick to your house in Paradise, create good karma-pick a reason, JUST GIVE.
If you don’t trust the UN or like agencies find a Pakistani and ask them do they know someone who is going there. Just send a package your self via DHL or UPS even EMPOST might do it. Just address it to Earthquake survivor or pick a name. Gulshan Bibi or Mohamed Razak, just think. Send it to your favorite Pakistani commentator in the newspaper. THERE IS NO EXCUSE.
Don’t let them go crazy, freeze and die in Pakistan when right across the water is the hippest city in the world.

easy on the caps lock. No one will take you seriously if you email them with caps lock depressed.
Yes. true about caps...making a point is one thing. shouting..another.
Mush (good friend of Bush) has just ordered $2 billion worth of ...... (sic) ANTI AIRCRAFT WARNING SYSTEMS. Charity starts at home brother, you can't expect the world to spend you stuff when your leaders behave so insensitively.
Please do not donate to Pakistani individuals and private charities. Several of them are black listed by various securities agencies around the world and some are fronts for terrorists outfits.
As much as possible, donate only to the Red Crescent Society and UN bodies.
Also do not forget that Sheikh Mohammed gave the order for an infinite budget for helping pakistan.
also, gulf news certainly isnt the best place to be sending articles like these.
It has a certain notoriety for being biased towards indian news, as it is primarily an indian publishing team (or at least it was 5 years ago), you'll see the odd letter in the editors section bagging them for having 20 pages on india and half a page on pakistan.
agreed, those gulf news people are assholes. send whatever you can, as much as possible of it, as much as you can.
Goodlookin, musharaf should buy AA defence to stop any attempts by the Indian army from bullying pakistan around in Kashmir.
The UAE and the GCC stand fully behind pakistan in the Quake problem, and the India-Pakistan issue. make no mistake about it.
And incase you include a link to a petition tell them to not bother publishing without the link, they published a letter of mine, listing me as being in al ain, when i was in dubai, and they didnt include the link.
At least i got a stupid response from etisalat blaming the TRA for their stupid blocking.
I also wrote a letter to KT about the plight of victims but never checked back to see either it's published or not.
UAE has contributed a lot towards the relief effort.May God Bless the rulers here.
