assistances says Senator Kerry

Affected by floods Pakistan urgently needs more international assistance to combat the potential for instability and extremism, the influential Senator John Kerry said, as hunger and disease threatens millions of lives. Statements in this International Herald Tribune, Kerry said the international community does not fulfill its obligations in Pakistan, where floods have killed more than 1,600 people. "The risk of flooding extends to the very real humanitarian crisis," Kerry wrote in the Monday edition. "Stable and secure Pakistan, which is based on democracy and the rule of law, is in our interest. Pakistan has made great strides in the fight against extremism and terrorism - of great sacrifice. But his ability to continue to combat this crisis must be effective," Kerry wrote.
