Islamic
Conference to meet in Pakistan on relief effort

Jeddah (Saudi
Arabia): Muslim humanitarian aid agencies will hold a
meeting in Pakistan next week to help coordinate relief efforts for
the millions of flood victims there, the Organisation of Islamic
Conference (OIC) announced Wednesday.
The OIC, which has 56 member states, said the conference will be
opened Sunday by Pakistan Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani.
Red Crescent societies and other relief bodies from the Muslim world
were invited to attend.
"The conference will examine the essential needs of the affected
areas in Pakistan," an OIC statement said, adding that the aid
agencies would also aim to better coordinate logistics, access to
flood victims and donor responses.
The end goal would be to produce a "joint action plan to facilitate
the humanitarian relief work in Pakistan, coordinate and mobilise
efforts in order to reach the best results".
According to the United Nations, the number of people displaced has
now risen to 17 million as the floods continue to swamp more
villages in the southern province of Sindh.
