They said thousands of people were dying of hunger including elders and children but the Sindh government instead of providing financial and ration help announced Rs.25000 per house so also through corrupt bureaucracy which was equal to putting salt on the wounds of affected people. They demanded direct financial aid to affected people including Rs.1 million for the family of a dead and Rs. 5 lacs for every injured person. The aid must be given to them through NIC and not through any officer. They also demanded payment of Rs. 1 million for the complete collapse of a house and Rs. 5 lacs for the damaged house.
