Lacking the capacity to self-finance its recovery, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for
Climate Change, Sherry Rehman, urged for international help and aid from the
United Nations (UN) and other organisations. Having already dispatched “cash
handouts worth $264 million” to over two million people affected by the disaster,
Minister Sherry has called for more. The UN increased its humanitarian aid
appeal to $816 million from $160 million, five-fold the money promised earlier.
Pakistan has received aid from the European Union, China, United Arab
Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Uzbekistan, India, and the United States to
tackle the disaster and rehabilitate the people. UAE, Turkey, Uzbekistan sent
fresh supplies and relief goods. Both the US and the EU provided $30 million
worth of aid for the flood-affected population.

inundated with flood waters as the drainage systems failed to cope.
