The government will seek assistance from the international community after detailed estimation of the losses once the flood is over, the Prime Minister said.

Gilani appealed to the international community to stand by Pakistan in this hour of trial. Prime Minister Gilani also directed the government organisations and activists of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) to fan out and zealously participate in rescue, rehabilitation and help of the flood affectees.

Earlier at the office of Executive Engineer Sukkur Barrage the Prime Minister was given an elaborate briefing by Provincial Irrigation Secretary Shuja-uddin- Junejo about flood position, measures taken for the rescue and assistance of the flood affectees.

Talking to the media the Prime Minister said it is believed that three districts of Sindh will be affected by the breach which occurred in a bund on Friday, as a result of which many more areas could submerge in water.

Prime Minister Gilani said firstly the provinces of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Balochistan as well as Gilgit-Baltistan were badly affected by the flood. The government he said is striving its best to accelerate the rescue operation and not to spare any effort in their rehabilitation.

The devastation and loss caused by the flood is irrecoverable and the country has been pushed back by many years, the Prime Minister said.

Besides, a second series of monsoon has also started. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank will be asked to make an estimate of losses once the flood subsides, the Prime Minister said adding the estimation will be shared with the world and the loss will be jointly surmounted.

He said for expeditious rescue work directives have been issued to all relevant organisations including the army, navy, air force and Disaster Management Authority that no effort should be spared.

Urijah Faber Posts Picture of Injured Leg, Courtesy of Jose Aldo

Urijah Faber Tweeted an image of his severely swollen left thigh following his loss to reigning featherweight champion Jose Aldo at WEC 48 on Saturday night.

Aldo unleashed a thrashing on Faber’s lead leg throughout the scrap – specifically in the opening rounds – battering it to the point that it forced the hometown hero to fight the championship rounds on just one leg.

“I trained a lot of defense [for] those leg kicks, but he was very effective with them,” a disappointed Faber said after the contest. “He really took away my legs, and it was impossible to get something going when he was attacking like that.”

The Brazilian demanded to make his first title defense against the division’s former king in his own backyard, however backed it up by cruising to a lopsided 49-45, 49-45, 50-45 unanimous decision victory in front of the Arco Arena crowd.

With the loss, Faber’s record now drops to 23-4 and he’s lost three of his last five contests. Regardless, “The California Kid” remains the WEC’s most adored athlete – although Aldo’s time has definitely arrived.
