Pakistan: nouvelles suite aux inondations (mi-août 2010)
Pour ceux/celles cherchant des infos sur la situation actuelle du Pakistan (et la possibilité d'y aller ou pas...), voici le message (en anglais) que vient de me faire parvenir un ami pakistanais (du Hunza, bureaux à Islamabad, et qui est organisateur de treks etc. dans l'Himalaya -- ref les Allemands coincés sur la KKH). Noter que les photos postées sur le site internet qu'il donne sont saisissantes, et couvrent diverses régions (Nord, Punjab, Baluchistan, Sindh, ...), bref un pays en bonne partie sous l'eau (à certains points le long de l'Indus, elle s'étale sur 20 km de large selon infos par ailleurs...) :
"" We have still flood in Pakistan and moving more to further south and situation of the country is much more worse. There is crisis of fuel, food, energy and the prices are suddenly touching the sky because everything is coming from Punab already destroyed, all the crops, fruits, vegetable nothing remaining. It rains also in the north and still roads are blocked. If you would like to see some images can visit this link. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/severe_flooding_in_pakistan.html
Well, me and my family are are okay and we are still alive. I had a group of 13 people from Germany for the trekking, they could not do in this situation roads are still blocked, so yesterday they backed to Germany, were struck on KKH we took them back to Islamabad few days ago. (...) NGOs in Pakistan are doing some help for this disaster in the country this is very big disaster and it will not recover very soon maybe 50 years if we have such leaders never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the Northern Areas they will repairer the KKH because that is for army and for Chinese but in the South it is too difficult to built the roads, schools, hospitals!!!!!!""
