KP holds donor conference for flood aid

ISLAMABAD: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's (KP) donor conference was held in Islamabad on Friday to brief the international community about the devastation caused by the worst floods in the history of Pakistan.

Aid worth Rs. 200 billion was asked for to compensate losses.

Envoys from Muslim countries, the European Union, United States, China and other countries attended the conference. Representatives of the British High Commission, Islamic Development, World Bank and USAID were also present.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti briefed on flood destruction in the province.

“A flood commission has been set up for the rehabilitation of flood victims. We need more international aid at the earliest because the militants can take advantage of the delay in reconstruction and rehabilitation of flood devastation,” said KP CM Hoti.
