THATTA, Pakistan The world has given or pledged more than $800 million to
help Pakistan cope with massive floods, the foreign minister said Sunday,
as a surging river in the south led authorities to urge thousands more
people to evacuate.
<snip>
"The total commitments and pledges that Pakistan has got so far are
$815.58 million," he told reporters in Islamabad. "In these circumstances,
when the West and Europe and America are going through a recession ...
this kind of solidarity for Pakistan, I think, is very encouraging."
The floods began in late July in the northwest after exceptionally heavy
monsoon rains, expanding rivers that have since swamped eastern Punjab
province and Sindh province in the south. The deluge has affected about
one-fifth of Pakistan's territory, straining the civilian government as it
also struggles against al-Qaida and Taliban violence.
At least 6 million people have been made homeless and 20 million affected
overall.
Aid flowed relatively slowly to Pakistan in the first weeks of the crisis,
apparently in part because many countries were unaware of the vast scope
of the damage. A relatively low death toll around 1,500 people may have
contributed to misimpressions, analysts have said.
<snip>
The floods are still wreaking havoc.
Three towns in the southern Sindh province's Thatta district were in
danger over the weekend, and officials were urging thousands to leave the
area.
