ISLAMABAD:
The UK has announced an additional £1.2 million in anticipatory flood response funding for Sindh, bringing its total humanitarian assistance to Pakistan this year to £2.53 million, a British High Commission press statement said on Thursday.
The funding will focus on early warning systems, community evacuations, identifying vulnerable households, pre-positioning essential supplies, livestock protection, and preparing evacuation centres, the statement added.
It follows UK's £1.33 million package unveiled on August 22, which supported early response and relief in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Gilgit-Baltistan.
