Increased support for Pakistan Monsoon Floods Situation

• Levels of funding have improved – and 55% of requirements set out in the Pakistan Initial Floods Emergency Response Plan (PIFERP) are now covered – but with the emergency continuing to unfold in Sindh and Balochistan, significantly more donor support is needed.

• The United Nations Secretary-General called for a massive increase in levels of aid being provided before the General Assembly on 19 August; the General Assembly responded by adopting a consensus resolution urging increased international support.
