Flood victims' resentment hurting aid effort: ICRC
2010-09-03
[The News (Pak)] Growing resentment among Pakistain flood victims on the pace of aid delivery is hampering the relief effort, the international Red Thingy warned Thursday, saying it had to halt two distributions recently due to unrest.

"What we are detecting is a very worrying trend of areas where ... people are so in need, so resentful of not getting enough aid, that they turn understandably aggressive and this is bad because it doesn't help in our efforts to reach more of them," said Jacques de Maio, the head of operations for South Asia for the International Committee of the Red Thingy.

"We are worried because if this trend extends, propagates," it could hinder the aid effort, he noted. De Maio noted that the trend is particularly worrying because, unlike other disasters such as an earthquake, the floods are generating more and more victims as the high waters sweep into new regions.
