Evangelical Christians from South Asia living in Britain are pushing to have Pakistan’s crippling international debts cancelled.

Of the 20 million people affected by the floods in Pakistan, some 85 per cent are women and children, and around 500,000 are pregnant women.

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and the Elders group want people and governments to give “more quickly and generously” to flood-stricken Pakistan.

The Action of Churches Together (ACT) Alliance has made a global appeal for assistance to people affected by flash floods and Landslides in India.
