Pakistan Earthquake and WHO for Pakistani Health

Recently, on 29th October, 2008 there was an earthquake in Pakistan. A report shows that at least 20 000 people displaced by the earthquake. Earthquake magnitude was 6.4. That people who has been displaced are in trouble and facing cold weather, waiting for cold weather etc. The earthquake was in the southwest Baluchistan province.

According to news about 160 people has been died. Many people has been missed and their homes are damages and destroyed. Efforts of rescue for that people are underway to search for their survivors.

In this conditions WHO announced to send major help for people health saving. According to WHO, “two truckloads of essential medicines and supplies for 50 000 people for three months to the most-affected districts of Ziarat and Pishin. WHO is also flying trauma supplies stored at the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot in Dubai to treat 400 people into the region. The two affected areas remain accessible for convoys carrying relief supplies and the rural health centre in the town of Kawas in Ziarat is functioning as the referral hospital.”

There are major problem with Pakistani people health. In this situation World Health Organization is ready to help that people with sending 1000 tents and 1500 blankets. Along with country’s National Disaster authority has send ambulances, medicines and medical teams to the affected part of earthquake.

Immediate health services are needed in that areas due to lack of shelter to cold weather, access to safe food and water and the low immunization coverage. Especially, in that reason for measles ant tetanus.

WHO announced to assess the affected area for the health needs. WHO has sent there their polio officers also to save the health of Pakistani people and their response are in positive way.

I think not only WHO but also people should also should aware about Pakistani people health. World people should aware about health of Pakistani and should sent them health accessories to save their life.
