Help the helpers

KARACHI: A friend told me that two months ago a train which derailed near Ghotki had to stand there for about two days. Villagers of the nearby areas rushed to bring food, water and all other necessities for the passengers during those two days.  The passengers consisted of people from all areas of the country.  The people of Karachi are safe and they must, I repeat must, help them, not only those who have come to Karachi, but those who are still surrounded by flood water in their areas, because now the millionaires as well as the poor are sailing in the same boat.

Today those helpers need our help.
