UK would continue supporting Pakistan in post-flood operations

Sayeeda Warsi is on a visit to Pakistan to learn how the country is recovering, what more needs to be done, and to see how more than Rs 27.7 billion from British people is supporting the flood victims. She recalled, “When I was here exactly six months ago in August at the peak of the floods with the UK International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell I saw scenes of devastation.”“Today I have been heartened to see and hear how the UK is helping millions of people in Pakistan rebuild their lives, but there is much more to do, with widespread malnutrition and the risk of disease outbreaks,” Warsi said while talking to reporters in Islamabad.Lauding the contributions of UK-based Muslim non-governmental organisations (NGOs), she underlined the need for further improvement in communication among them. A well-coordinated campaign would be launched for the early rehabilitation of the flood victims, she said.Warsi was briefed on relief and reconstruction efforts by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) on Saturday morning.
