The UK has pledged £26.5 million to support the response to the flooding in Pakistan. £5 million of the total £26.5 million amount will go to the DEC appeal as match funding. £11.5 million will support aid agencies to respond to people's immediate needs, including the provision of water, sanitation, shelter, and protecting women and girls. The further £10 million will focus on the health and nutrition implications of the crisis including tackling the rise in water-borne disease. The UK is also working with our international partners and multilateral organisations to advocate for Pakistan's economic recovery and reconstruction.
