NEW YORK – The United Nations General Assembly on Friday passed a resolution, calling for increased global financial support after massive floods killed more than 1,700 people in Pakistan.
The resolution, passed by consensus in the 193-member body, emphasized the necessity to help the flood-hit country rebuild after huge floods that left a third of the country under water.
It added the need for continued cooperation between the Pakistani government and the relevant organisations throughout the ongoing relief operations and rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts in a manner that enhanced resilience and reduced vulnerability to future natural hazards.
