Feeding Pakistan's hungry (snaps) -Part-1 and Part -II
[Image: _46653968_saylani2.jpg]
The global recession has hit many Pakistanis hard. Every day this charity in the heart of Karachi prepares meals in these enormous cooking pots for up to 40,000 people. Text and photos by BBC Urdu's Arshid Ali

Meals are distributed at food centres like this one where people are patiently queuing. The centres use mobile phones to ensure they never run out of food

More and more people are coming to eat at the food centres which are open 365 days a year. There is no restriction on the amount they can eat

A mother and child enjoy a hearty meal, probably the only one they will have for the day.

This man tucks into a tasty piece of goat. He says eating meat is a luxury he can no longer afford because it costs more than his daily wage.

The food centres make meat dishes from the estimated 400 goats that are donated every day

A father sits with his two sons to eat at the food centre because he has no permanent work

Even people who do have jobs like this armed police officer have resorted to eating in the food centres because their salaries are not very big

This child is a window cleaner and is the sole bread winner in the family. "Whatever I earn I give to my mother and when I am hungry I come and eat here."
