The South Asian country of Pakistan is undergoing immense flooding, and is one fifth under water. Currently, over 1600 lives have been claimed by the disaster, and over 20 million people have been affected. The United Nations says that this is a worse crisis than both the 2004 tsunami and the recent earthquake in Haiti. Despite this, Pakistan has been slow to recieve aid from the international community. MoveOn and a sister organization, Avaaz, have been trying to raise funds, and you can help.
