ISLAMABAD (HRNW) The United Kingdom (UK) will provide an additional £10 million of life-saving humanitarian support for Pakistan’s flood relief efforts.
According to details, the additional humanitarian aid was announced by Lord Tariq Ahmad of Wimbledon, UK Minister of State for South Asia (FCDO), during his visit to Pakistan.
In addition to the UK’s £26.5 million donation in humanitarian funding, a UK Royal Air Force flight recently delivered eight boats and ten portable generators for flood relief operations.
