FED:Pakistan takes security precautions
Former Australian cricket captain IAN CHAPPELL has urged Australians to donate money
to flood ravaged Pakistan.
CHAPPELL has had a long association with Pakistan and says Australians should be generous.
He's told ABC Radio what's happened has been soul-destroying for the Pakistanis who
have always been very hospitable people.
A 180-member Australian military health team is now setting up a medical facility in
the Punjab area as strict security measures are implemented in the country to ensure the
aid effort isn't hindered by fundamentalist groups.
Pakistan's Sydney consul-general HAMID KHAN says the very last thing Pakistan needs
is for villains to impede the relief effort.
