I agree what you wrote with a little modification, that is ... you missed the word 'stolen' ... for instance, you should have written:
If Nawaz and his family, Zardai ,Chauhdaries of Gujrat, Malik Riaz and some other like them return 50 % of what they have stolen, No need of any western aid.

Pakistan’s ‘image deficit’ may be behind difficulty in fundraising: UN

GENEVA — Relief agencies are having trouble obtaining funds to help millions of Pakistan flood victims as the country suffers from an “image deficit”, a UN spokeswoman said on Monday.
“We note often an image deficit with regards to Pakistan among Western public opinion,” said Elizabeth Byrs, spokeswoman of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
“As a result, Pakistan is among countries that are poorly financed, like Yemen,” she added.
The Unied Nations has been struggling to obtain US$460-million to provide emergency aid to six million victims of the country ravaged by heavy flooding. Only a fifth of the required funds have been pledged since the appeal was launched on August 11.
Melanie Brooks, spokeswoman of the humanitarian group Care International stressed that the UN must explain to donor states that “the money is not going to go to the hands of the Talibans.”
“The victims are the mothers, the farmers, children. But in the past, information linked to Pakistan has always been linked to Talibans and terrorism,” she said.
According to Pakistani authorities, around a quarter of the country which extends over 800,000 square kilometres nd counts 167 million inhabitants, have been affected by the floods over the last three weeks.
The UN said billions would be needed in the long term to reconstruct the villages, infrastructure and harvests devastated by the floods.

One of the biggest reason that we are not getting funding is that while the country was drowning, the idiot Zardari was jet setting in Europe.
If the President of the Country does not care about his country, why are we surprised when the rest of the world takes his cue and doesn't care either.

Re: Pakistan does not need Western aid - Nawaz
I agree with him. If he and his family, Zardai ,Chauhdaries of Gujrat, Malik Riaz and some other like them return 50 % of what they have , No need of any western aid.
True. They won't return though.
A dream: Switzerland and British banks only 'disclose' the amounts of $$$ stashed there by Pakistani politicians.
