The World Missions Bureau’s Project 24/29 event focuses on the fact that every 24 hours 29,000 children die from preventable diseases such as diarrhea, acute respiratory infection, and malaria.
The current situation for victims of the Pakistan flooding, according to the World Health Organizaion (WHO) says, “The depth of suffering is incalculable as risks escalate of diarrhea, acute respiratory infection, malaria and other communicable diseases,” said Dr. Guido Sabatinelli of WHO. “It is crucial that all humanitarian health providers, local and national, coordinate their relief efforts closely to save lives, reduce suffering and deliver the most effective response.”
