The new support from the UK government includes emergency shelter and blankets that will be shipped in directly from the warehouse of the Department of International Development (DFID) in the UAE, as well as help to rebuild flood resistant homes for 40,000 people where water has receded, said a statement issued by UK High Commission on Thursday. The announcement comes in response to the United Nations Pakistan Floods Rapid Response Plan 2011. Mitchell said, “I know the suffering caused by the flooding in Sindh is of deep concern to many British people. UK support for people affected by the floods will continue not only over the coming weeks, but into 2012.”
