Pakistan Monsoon Victims Receiving Little Aid

After a magnitude 7 earthquake hit Pakistan last January, the country's 20 million effected have suffered due to little assistance. Reasoning behind this includes the corrupt government situation in the country. Also, in this economic era, countries are having issues helping each other out with aid after environmental hazard events. These are two of the important factors for recovery after a hazard event. If a governing body isn't stable, it can't provide the assistance and leadership needed to help affected citizens. The other factor is financial. If there isn't enough money fast enough after the disaster, then recovery slows down even further.
