In an August 11th UN press briefing by the office of the spokesperson for the Secretary-General , Martin Nesirky discussed the "urgent humanitarian needs of millions of people affected by the floods in Pakistan." He stated that it was estimated that over 14 million people had been affected. He then went on to discuss the situation in Darfur and asked if there were any questions.
Anyone seeing the images of the devastation in Pakistan with an estimated 20% of the country under water could not help but be affected by the extent of human misery. So, of course, the bulk of the questions would be about how to help the suffering people and how to best provide emergency supplies to those in need.
But as you read the text of the briefing, you will note that most questions dealt with the greatest catastrophe facing the world today. No, not the global food crisis, rising wheat prices, China flooding, Darfur, or Pakistan.
