"Mr President, I should like to thank you for visiting the Scottish Parliament last week. Your words were much appreciated. However, there is an issue that many of my Scottish constituents are growing increasingly concerned about and that is the situation of the victims of the Pakistan earthquake. Already 80 000 people are dead and 3 million people are homeless. The WHO is concerned about health and outbreaks of diarrhoea and, with winter approaching, there is the additional concern of how people will keep warm. The UN needs USD 550 million to be able to do a decent job and it has just USD 135 million. Although the EU has given EUR 93.6 million as an aid package, we need to do more. I hope this House will back me in calling for more action to be taken to help the survivors of the Pakistan earthquake to rebuild their lives. Time is pressing. We need urgent action before more people die due to the onset of winter."@en1
