Dozens of countries and international institutions on Monday, January 9, 2023, pledged more than $9 billion to help Pakistan recover and rebuild from devastating summer floods that the United Nations chief called “a climate disaster of monumental scale.”

The United States has boosted assistance to Pakistan’s flood relief efforts, announcing $10 million in aid, in addition to Washington's already announced financial assistance of $56.1 million, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, September 26, 2022.

Like every year, Arz Mohammed had planted his little patch of land in southern Pakistan with cotton. The crop would earn him enough so that, as he puts it, his family of five wouldn’t be reduced to begging. Then came the deluge.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appealed to the world for help for cash-strapped Pakistan after arriving in the country on Friday, September 9, 2022, to see the climate-induced devastation from months of deadly record floods.

The United Nations and Pakistan issued an appeal on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, for $160 million in emergency funding to help millions affected by record−breaking floods that have killed more than 1,160 people since mid−June.
