Geneva: Pakistan and the United Nations have made a fresh joint flash appeal for the flood affectees of Pakistan, increasing the amount to $816 million from the original $160 million.

The original appeal – Flood Response Plan 2022 – for $160 million was made by Pakistan, in collaboration with the UN, on August 30. However, considering the unprecedented nature of the catastrophe brought on by the floods, a revised flood response plan, prepared in close coordination between the government of Pakistan and the UN, was shared at the event by Minister for Climate Change Sherry Rehman.
