Rushen and Western Mann Rotary donate £1K aid to Pakistan

Severe floods have left millions homeless

One-thousand pounds has been donated to 'Shelterbox' and 'Aquabox' which are actively sending aid to Pakistan.

Worsening conditions in the country - due to what was called a 'monsoon on steroids' - have seen more than 1200 people die.

Thousands of buildings, bridges and roads have been destroyed leaving millions without their homes.

It's been speculated the flooding has been caused by the environmental crisis - something the United Nations Secretary-General believes the world is 'sleepwalking' through.

As a result Rushen and Western Mann Rotary has donated the money to two charities which help put various infrastructure in place for those across the country who are desperately in need.
