ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Aug, 2022 ) :The United States government on Friday has announced a new $1 million grant in support of Pakistan's ability to address natural disasters, such as the ongoing flooding.

The U.S. Ambassador Donald Blome said: "The people of America stand with the people of Pakistan during this challenging time. Our hearts are with the families who lost loved ones in the floods across Pakistan and who are also dealing with recovery efforts.

We remain committed to helping Pakistan recover and rebuild as quickly as possible."
