Episode 35: Pakistan Floods, and How Canada Should Respond to International Humanitarian Disasters
On today’s episode we discuss the humanitarian crisis in Pakistan. Major floods there are devastating millions of people, killing off livestock, and ravaging the landscape. Joining me for this episode are Dr. Aslam Daud, chairman of non-profit organization Humanity First, and Rahul Singh, CEO of GlobalMedic, an organization providing humanitarian aid across the world. Both offer insight into the reality of the natural disaster at hand and Canada's response. We also discuss more general issues in international development, such as how to prevent devastation like this over the long term.
This episode was recorded prior to Hurricane Fiona hitting Canadian shores, and I also want to share my sincerest sympathy for all those impacted by that storm. We will look to discuss the response to natural disasters in Canada in a future episode.
