Geneva: (Staff Reporter) Amid the second phase of death and disaster, the United Nations has revised the ‘Flash Appeal’ for Pakistan’s flood victims from $160 million to $ 816 million.
The UN decided to upscale the humanitarian aid given the dismal health conditions in the flood-ravaged areas amid fast spreading waterborne diseases such as malaria, dengue and diarrhea.
Furthermore Julien Harneis, UN Resident Coordinator in Pakistan, warned that the prevailing wave of diseases in the flood-ravaged areas could inflict many more deaths among flood victims particularly the children who are the most vulnerable segment.
