Flood and fortitude

RAWALPINDI: The people of northern and northwestern Pakistan have faced disasters for some years now. First it was the massive earthquake and then it was militancy and suicide bombings, especially in Swat. And now many have lost their homes and loved ones and it is not clear when they will be able to return.

When will their miseries end? How will they once again have a normal life if they have lost everything and with no help in sight? Only God knows what the future beholds for them.
