A grant of €350,000 (about Rs76 million) has been approved by the European Union to help families in need of life-saving humanitarian aid after severe flooding devastated numerous areas of Pakistan.
The EU stated in a statement that the aid will concentrate on meeting the immediate needs of people most impacted in some of Balochistan’s hardest-hit areas, Jhal Magsi and Lasbela.
According to Taheeni Thammannagoda, who manages EU humanitarian programmes in Pakistan, “the disastrous floods have left a trail of ruin in Pakistan, leading people to suffer the loss of their homes, livelihoods, and belongings.”
