Siemens helps flood victims in Pakistan
Around 20 million Pakistanis have been hit by the devastating floods. Over one-third of the country is under water. According to the United Nations, roughly 500,000 people have been provided with food and drinking water so far. The flood victims urgently need help and support.
Together with the German Red Cross, Siemens has established an account at the Bank für Sozialwirtschaft (beneficiary: “Siemens helps Pakistan;” account no. 41 41 41; BLZ 370 205 00) where employees in Germany can make donations to help the victims. Measures to aid Pakistan are also planned in many other countries where Siemens is active.
