It is important to donate money to charities with good reputations and a great idea to send goods like those on the list above. I usually donate to UN run aid efforts, Red Cross/Crescent, and a smaller Canadian charity that sends medical staff and medical goods to care for those after disasters. For disasters closer to where I live I've made care packages with food, clothing and medical items - did the same in Dubai for workers at construction camps.

Also one begins to wonder if the leaders of Pakistan cared so much about the people would their president be on a world tour during their worst hours?
Then the audacity of the government to block aid from India the one country in the best position to lend in concrete help.

I'll continue what he started, what he means is Pakistan is plagued with too many natural calamities, just give all the Pakis British passports and problem solved!!!
As I said before 'the will of God?' someone is trying to tell them something - time to change maybe? If they're such a God fearing nation, maybe they should start taking heed of the signs.
