UNCERF has allocated USD $3M to UN agencies and partners in Pakistan to respond to the floods. The funding is granted for health, nutrition, food security, water and sanitation services in the flood-affected areas.
The government is conducting search and rescue operations, providing relief supplies and preparing a cash assistance program. The UN, and non-government organizations, have been working alongside the government to provide support.
This $3 million CERF allocation will bring the UN’s humanitarian assistance for the flood response up to US$ 7 million. The ongoing assistance by UN agencies includes medical supplies and services by WHO, safe water and nutrition by UNICEF, support for maternal health by UNFPA, food assistance by WFP, vaccination of livestock by FAO and shelter for refugees by UNHCR.
