The last contributor to Radio 4's Any Answers today spoke to our hearts when he urged us to donate again to help the victims of the Pakistan floods.

He pointed out that people in such great distress need our help and that they should not be, in effect, 'punished' by having help withheld because there are extremists in Pakistan, or because the president of Pakistan chose to remain in Britain so long before returning to flood-hit Pakistan, or because sometimes donated moneys get into the wrong hands, or because of any other reasons which are nothing at all to do with the people who are suffering the consequences of the catastrophic floods. By urging us to donate again he reminds us that the relief of such terrible suffering is urgent and should be unconditional.
