Increase UK Govt Aid for Pakistan Flood Relief To £200 Million
In Pakistan we are seeing the most serious and catastrophic impact of the climate change with 1/3rd Pakistan flooded, 1236 confirmed dead, 40 million people affected and 1 million homes destroyed.
The UK Govt must announce £200 million aid in response to the unprecedented crisis.
The UK Foreign Office initially pledged £1.5 million to Pakistan's emergency relief efforts, that amounted to less than 5p for each person affected by the unprecedented floods.
Today, UK stepped up support for Pakistan by announcing further £15 million.
The UK Government announced £150 m support in the 2010 floods. The 2022 floods are much worse while less than 10% is being done compared to 2010. Pakistan is submerged, and we must act fast by announcing £200 million in aid to the relief efforts.
