The United States has approved an aid help package to Pakistan in the wake of the recent devastating floods that mark the first international aid initiative of its kind under the Trump administration, the state-controlled Pakistan TV reported.
According to the US Department of State, funding will provide food, shelter and other emergency in flood -affected regions. The US government said it would work in coordination with Pakistani authorities and trusted humanitarian organizations to provide assistance.
US Central Command has already sent a first consignment of emergencies. Jeremy Levin, an official in the senior department who oversees foreign aid and humanitarian affairs, said Washington moved quickly to respond.
“Within only 72 hours, US relief teams were deployed, new assistance was arranged and important military supplies were sent to Pakistan,” Levin said.
America First Foreign Assistance is effective, time -limited and narrowly targeted. Over the course of 72 hours, we implemented staff in disaster -response, helped over 300,000 people and coordinated critical auxiliary delivery to help our close allies, Pakistan.
