"Madam President, we in the Netherlands are no strangers to the fight against the water, and so I feel a strong sense of unity with the Pakistani people so severely affected by the disastrous floods. I would call on the European Union, the Member States and the international community to stand by the Pakistani people and not abandon them to the will of the Taliban. As a Christian, I also feel a sense of unity with the Pakistani Christians. I have heard from organisations such as Open Doors International and Compass Direct News that, in several areas, Christians are being discriminated against when it comes to the distribution of food and medical assistance. I found that report shocking, and I wish to ask the Commissioner to devote attention to this too. An even more serious report was that, apparently, three foreign aid workers from a Christian organisation have now been murdered by the Pakistani Taliban. I should like to ask the Commissioner to devote particular attention to this as well and also to support the Pakistani Government, as it is that government’s job to protect domestic and foreign aid workers, and aid must never be subject to discrimination. I should also like to hear a response to this from the Commissioner."@en1
