"Indeed, the European Union responded promptly to the tragedy in Pakistan, although, as you have said, this does not always have a high profile. However, your visit to the areas affected by the floods has highlighted the solidarity being shown by the European Union in response to this humanitarian disaster.
The victims of the disaster – we are talking about roughly 18 million people – are now exposed to major risks of illness. Unfortunately, the UN has received only a third of the resources requested, which is also due to the reservations shown by Member States with regard to the widespread corruption in Pakistan.
I believe that a mechanism is required to control the way in which humanitarian aid is channelled directly to the victims of the floods and not misappropriated by local feudal lords, while stepping up the humanitarian missions at the same time.
I also think that we should make concern about security measures for humanitarian workers one of our priorities, given the Islamist threats."@en1
