New Zealand Red Cross has raised $350,000 for Pakistan but urgently needs to collect more to buy emergency relief for the mega-disaster. The international Red Cross has quadrupled its appeal from $23 million to $103 million to help 2 million people for 18 months. Read the revised appeal here.
New Zealand Red Cross International Programmes Manager Glenn Rose says the scale of the disaster demands an extraordinary response. "So far the public have donated $350,000 to Red Cross but we need to urgently raise more money to fund essential emergency supplies for people facing grim times in Pakistan. There is sufficient bulk food available in Pakistan so the Red Cross Red Crescent operation is buying supplies locally, which is faster and better for people in need and the Pakistan economy," he says.
