These pakis are a wierd species. They boast something about they should be very concerned of.
Pakistan becomes second largest food donor
The headline is a WOW factor but the actual story is FATA is suffering from malnutrition at an alarming level. WFP-Pakistan is operating there to curb the level of hunger. Pakistan government had pledged some 150,000 metric ton of wheat to WFP for the distribution in the affected area. Which they have most likely bought from the international market with us aid. Yet, this is not enough. The international community had promised some $43m out of which only $29m has been received. Failing which WFP might have to shut down their operation in pakiland. Pakis dont have enough mechanism to fortify raw wheat which they have proudly donated to their citizens. So all in all its a pretty gloomy picture and the headline suggest pakistan has no internal governance to help their people so they need help from WFP at this scale.
Pakistan has donated 150,000 metric tons of wheat to World Food Programme (WFP) in 2013 as the country is emerged as second largest donor for the United Nations body.
“This year's donation, valued at Rs5.5 billion (US$52 million) has placed Pakistan as WFP's second largest donor in 2013 which demonstrated the government's continued ownership of development process and a strong commitment to helping its people in need.”
The international donors have provided complementary funding of US$29 million out of the total requirement of US$ 43 million, WFP Spokesman, Amjad Jamal said on Thursday.
The assistance was provided at a time when critical funding shortages threatened the provision of emergency food assistance in the country.
According to WFP Pakistan, it aims to assist 8.3 million people between 2013 and 2015 at a total cost of US$535 million with projects to improve economic opportunities and promote social inclusion in FATA, boost community resilience in disaster-prone areas, and address nutrition and education needs in the country.
go through the comments section. Many idiots are having orgasm. That's what this headline is about, isnt it
a GOOD NEWS from Pakistan, makes world happy. One more step towards Happy Peaceful Positive Pakitan
This shows what a great nation with great people who live there, with US aid , still they donate, all country should follow,mainly the oil rich nations!,
This is good, but perphaps we should first make sure our own citizens are fed, then worry about others?{a$$hole your government bought wheat from amriki aid and donated to your own people. Read the article not the headline you d!khead}
Are we being paid for donating this food or not? If not, then we are being generous to a fault when our our poor go hungry.
{iski maa ki... charge money for donation eey}
proud to be a Pakistani. A generous nation
This is a good gesture by Pakistan, but this donation is burdening the common people as low supply of wheat is the reason of wheat's price hike in country. Government should donate but first fulfill need of its own people.
What an amazing news.If we remove the horror of religious extremism and the cancer of conspiracy theories in our country, it would be the best in the world.
