Pakistan floods 2010: crisis briefing 24 August
- Funding in response to the Pakistan floods has now reached US$616 million. Just under US$276 million of this has been committed directly in response to the UN appeal for US$459 million.
Over 50 governments have responded so far – the largest contributions have come from the United States (US$156 million), Saudi Arabia (US$74.4 million), the United Kingdom (US$64.8 million) and the European Commission (US$54.2million).
Water and sanitation is currently one of the least well funded sectors within the UN appeal.
