£300 million raised by the UN for Pakistan
The United Nations has raised nearly £300 million for flood-hit Pakistan after appealing to countries around the world to increase their aid pledges following the “global disaster”.
Secretary general Ban Ki-moon described the flood as a “slow motion tsunami.” The natural disaster has left more than 20 million people needing shelter, food and clean water.
“This disaster is like few the world has ever seen,” he said. “It requires a response to match. Pakistan needs a flood of support.”
The UN said that at least 1,500 people have been killed, millions have no shelter and many more need help.
