The National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) issued strict instructions that no banned organization allowed to collect funds in the name of Pakistan flood victims. Authorities will confiscate posters, banners, or advertisements promoting such drives, and they will register legal cases under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Pakistan Flood Donation Campaigns
Banned groups may utilize Pakistan flood donation campaigns as a disguise to attract sympathy, raise money and recruit members, NACTA has cautioned. The order requests the strict attention of the federal and provincial governments, law enforcers, and intelligence organizations with regard to such activities. According to the requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), no relief camps and fundraising initiatives permitted in Pakistan without a verification.
Most recently, the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), an instrument of the outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), carried out Pakistan flood relief distribution in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. The group observed to be giving out food and supplies and to have been raising funds via selling animal hide and online. Security officers also worry that such exercises exploited by hiring people in the name of humanitarian relief.
International Support for Pakistan Flood Victims
Even as NACTA is still conducting its crackdown on the unverified relief drives, the international organizations are aiding the humanitarian response. Gates Foundation has given the World Health Organization $1 million to fund health services in 33 flooded districts. The United Nations has issued a statement to the tune of 600,000 dollars to help in the emergency. Medical kits, food assistance, hygiene goods, and rehabilitation of water infrastructure are some of the relief measures dispensed in the remote districts by relief agencies like Action Against Hunger.
NACTA instructed that the updated list of banned organizations must circulate immediately across all field formations to stop illegal Pakistan flood donation campaigns. Authorities told to ensure only registered and verified organizations allowed to operate relief activities for flood victims.
