PAKISTAN FLOODS - 20 MILLION AFFECTED AS CHOLERA STRIKES
Wednesday 8 September - UN reports that the damage from the floods is worse than the Tsunami, 2005 Pakistan Earthquake and Haiti combined. While the death toll is lower, the ongoing risk of disease and illness, and the need for medicines, far exceeds previous disasters. IHP has already committed and/or sent £7.1m in medicines and is appealing for further product donations and financial contributions. Multiply your donations - each £1 donated provides £20 of medicines to the disaster teams on the ground. For more information click here.
