Saudi Arabia has donated a further $80 million to Pakistan boosting a national campaign collection to $106.6 million.
Saudi Arabia earlier this week launched a national campaign to raise aid for the flood victims, with the campaign already collecting more than $26.7 million. The United Nations revealed that contributions and pledges of $272.4 million have so far been received for planned activities of the Pakistan Initial Floods Emergency Response Plan (PIFERP), lagging it behind by $187.3 million.
Between 2006 and 2009, Saudi Arabia provided Pakistan over $1.5 billion in loans and aid, including $700 million pledged at the donor conference in Tokyo on April 17, 2009.
