My friend is Pakistani with family back home and a lot of what Pakistan has done to support Ukraine hasn't been spoken about in Western news. Basically they didn't have to do anything, but they chose to show support to Ukraine and the West. They deserve recognition for doing so, and deserve support now.
These floods are truly devastating and aren't getting enough attention. Really hope other countries step up to support them right now.
Western news at times is embarrassing. In coloured countries stuff is reported on if it fits a western narrative (terrorism, famine, etc). Even silly social media slacktivism doesn’t do much. There is no “pray for Pakistan” or black square (thankfully so), but you can bet if stuff happened to a country more relatable there would be these campaigns.

Umm, this thread could use some positive news out of Pakistan if there was any, not positive news to get away from the flooding devastation. That doesn't make any sense, lol.
This is true tragedy in real time, and the thread is for that.
It was a specific reply to the person obviously being shaken up about plague, floods, war & drought. I thought it might help pick up their spirit a bit.
