ISLAMABAD, Oct 4 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 4th Oct, 2022 ) :Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday thanked the European Union for allocating 30 million in a new humanitarian aid for relief and rehabilitation of the flood-stricken people of Pakistan.
"Grateful to European Union, particularly President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the European Commission for the announcement of 30 million in new EU humanitarian aid for Pakistan," the prime minister wrote on Twitter.
