6. Humanitarian Support for Pakistan — Due to recent severe flooding, a third of Pakistan was underwater and over a thousand people lost their lives. In addition, 33 million people were displaced and the rebuilding may take years since infrastructure that would help people receive aid, such as roads, was damaged. Currently, people are facing starvation. In response, we would like to encourage you to donate to the World Food Programme, an organization we have worked with in the past, to bring relief to the people of Pakistan.
