Pakistan: Villagers hit by 2010 flood feel abandoned by govt

Fearing another disaster may be heading their way, the village community are pleading for protection at this most vulnerable time: "We would be in the same position as we were a year ago. We need roads, a proper roof over our heads, a source of income and also some security." Organisations like Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum (PFF), Oxfam and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) are helping people in this regard by introducing Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) programmes which adopt a systematic approach to reducing the risks of disaster as well as the socio-economic vulnerabilities that come along with such incidents, reports the News International.
