James Kon A humanitarian aid fund for Pakistan in response to severe flooding that left a third of the country underwater was launched yesterday. Funds for flood victims will be collected over three months to give the public an opportunity to contribute directly while also enable organisations to host charitable activities, said Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Nazmi bin Haji Mohamad during the meeting of the National Committee for the Pakistan Flood Humanitarian Fund 2022. “In August, Pakistan was struck by the worst flooding in its history. The scale of the disaster is significant, with nearly 1,400 deaths and 13,000 injured, while more than 1.6 million houses were destroyed. “Pakistan declared 81 districts as disaster-hit areas, and more than 33 million people were affected. “A third of the country was submerged,” said the minister.
