IOM Triples Pakistan Flood Appeal to US$114 Million
IOM is appealing to international donors for US$ 114 million to
help over 20 million people affected by the worst floods in
Pakistan's history.
The appeal, designed to cover a wide range of relief and
recovery projects to be implemented through July 2011, follows an
earlier 3-month appeal launched in August for US$ 38 million.
To date international donors, including the US, UK, Canada,
Sweden, Japan and the UN, have contributed nearly US$ 22 million to
IOM's initial appeal. This is funding activities including the
provision of emergency shelter and non-food relief items,
coordination of the Emergency Shelter Cluster, transport and
logistics, mass communications and health.
