Pakistan Is Not Haiti

Pakistan Flood Zone

 

The heartening North American response to Haiti’s earthquake has tragically not been replicated in the case of Pakistan. With twenty percent of the nation underwater, some 1100 people known dead, and four million now homeless, this catastrophe ranks among the worse in modern times. Yet extreme distance and unfamiliarity cause most in our midst to take the news lightly. But oh the power of a personal relationship! One of INMED’s heroes, Scott Armistead, was on the scene in 2006 when Pakistan was struck by an 7.6 magnitude earthquake that killed 83,000, and four years later Scott and his wife Joanne are still living in Pakistan and providing lifesaving care! Get a glimpse of them at working by checking out Bach Christian Hospital.
