Caritas Korea sendsaid to Pakistan 'sflood victims


(Aug.10,2010) Meanwhile, Caritas Korea is also preparing to rush US$30,000 to its sister organization in Pakistan to help with urgent flood relief efforts. “The money will be sent to Pakistan as soon as possible,” said Theresa Kim Jou-yeon, Caritas Corea’s public relations officer. “It’s unfortunate that we have already used much of our urgent relief funds to aid the earthquake victims in Haiti and Chile earlier this year,” she said. “Next month, we will be deciding the amount of overseas aid we can allocate for the third quarter and more money will be added to help Pakistan,” she said. The United Nations reports that 13.8 million people are affected and at least 1,600 have been killed so far with the death toll likely to rise much higher.
