Courtney asked me this morning if anyone was talking about the aftermath in Pakistan. Here is what I found out:
- A week ago, the British government announced additional aid.
- Harsh winter weather responsible for increase in children with pneumonia. 8 inches of snow fell this past weekend.
- Funds are short for current emergencies, even though more than $6 billion in aid was pledged to Pakistan (most earmarked for reconstruction).
- Mr. and Mrs. Smith (aka Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt) visit Pakistan during Thanksgiving. The goodwill ambassador for UNHCR found the scale of devastation "huge".
