Tents donated by international aid agencies/countries for the PoK earthquake are still available for sale in Karachi. And for all the fools donating money to Pakistan, read this:
Telegraph: GBP 300m earthquake aid 'misused by Zardari’ (Focus)
More than GBP 300 million in foreign aid for victims of the 2005 Pakistan earthquake has been diverted by President Asif Zardari's government to other causes...
... schools, hospitals, houses and roads planned with money given by foreign governments and international aid groups remain unbuilt almost five years after the earthquake ...
Earthquake reconstruction directors were first told their budgets were being cut in March 2009 when 12 billion Pakistan Rupees (£90 million) was diverted from their budget to other government projects. They were told: "When we have the money we will pay you," said one senior official.
In June this year, ERRA staff were told their 2010-2011 budget of 43 billion Pakistan Rupees (GBP 322 million) had been but down to just 10 billion Rupees (GBP 75 million).
In Balakot, where 5,000 of the town's 25,000 people were killed in the earthquake, thousands of families were told their entire town would be rebuilt six miles away because it stood directly in the 'red zone' directly above the fault line. But despite promises that the new town would be completed by last month, not a single new road has been completed nor a building construction begun on the site of "New Balakot". When the Telegraph visited the "new town" this week mechanical diggers stood rusting and security guards said there had been no work on the site for more than a year. Officials said contractors had not been paid since April and were still owed £22.5 million.
A minute of an ERRA meeting to discuss the funding crisis earlier this month decided there would be "no further work on all on-going projects," while an internal letter dated August 6th explained that as a result of the "rationalization exercise" several offices would have to be closed and assets auctioned. Plans have also been made to cut its 3000 staff down to 800.
These RAPE's call themselves leaders of a pious Islamic republic and yet every morsel of food going in their mouth has been stolen from a helpless & dying mango Baki family. I would love to be a fly on the wall when Zardari meets his maker. That would be very interesting. AoA!
