New York: January 14, 2010. (PCP) Dr. Nazir S Bhatti, President of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC have expressed utmost sorrow on devastation caused by earthquake in Haiti and appealed to Pakistani Christian Diaspora in EU and North America to donate directly to UN funds established for victims. Mr. Bhatti contacted Pakistani Churches in Europe to offer special prayers for thousands feared dead in Haiti earthquake and direct congregations to donate in Red Cross, UN Relief Fund and other reputable agencies. Nazir Bhatti also urged members and leaders of Pakistan Christian Congress PCC in Pakistan to work with local Red Crescent, Catholic Church in Pakistan and Church of Pakistan to collect relief goods for Haiti victims of earthquake. Meanwhile, AP reports from PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti that Doctors and search dogs, troops and rescue teams flew to this devastated land of dazed, dead and dying people Thursday, finding bottlenecks everywhere, beginning at a main airport short on jet fuel and ramp space and without a control tower. The international Red Cross estimated 45,000 to 50,000 people were killed in Tuesday's cataclysmic earthquake, based on information from the Haitian Red Cross and government officials. Hard-pressed recovery teams resorted to using bulldozers to transport loads of dead. Worries mounted, meanwhile, about food and water for the survivors. "People have been almost fighting for water," aid worker Fevil Dubien said as he distributed water from a truck in a northern Port-au-Prince neighborhood. From Virginia, from France, from China, a handful of rescue teams were able to get down to work, scouring the rubble for survivors. In one "small miracle," searchers pulled a security guard alive from beneath the collapsed concrete floors of the U.N. peacekeeping headquarters, where many others were entombed.
