In the midst of the changes sweeping the Arab world, I recently had the privilege to attend the Fourth World Congress of Muslim Philanthropists in Dubai. Naturally, the meeting was abuzz with talk of the enormous changes underway in the region, or as one speaker described “this fundamental realignment between the rulers and the ruled.” 

It is now six months since the devastating floods in Pakistan. Since then, Concern Worldwide has helped one million people who were affected by this disaster.

Paul O’Brien, Overseas Director of Concern Worldwide, is calling for greater international help with the flooding in Pakistan, saying that the damage and suffering could exceed that caused by the 2005 earthquake.

The situation in Pakistan is worsening. It is now estimated that 12 million people have been affected by the floods, losing their homes and livelihoods.

Concern Worldwide continues to deliver aid in Pakistan. However, there are fears of further flooding over the coming days.
