Funding in response to the Pakistan floods has reached US$703.8 million with an additional US$363.9 million pledged. The number of affected people has risen to 17.2 million and the number of people killed has reached 1,500.

60 donor governments and the EC have either pledged or contributed funds to the emergency. Contributions from the United States (US$153.9 million), Saudi Arabia (US74.4 million), the UK (US$64.8 million) and the EC (US$56.6million) continue to dominate.

This Excel contains some data and graphs on overall funding commitments/contributions and pledges. Which government donors have provided funding and how much have they given? Which sectors are being funded? How does funding compare on a day-by-day basis in comparison to other large-scale emergencies? We have summarised the key data in this PowerPoint file of graphs (PDF).
