The floods devastated large swathes of #Libya in mere hours.

Time is of the essence for emergency responders. That’s why I immediately released $10 million to provide lifesaving supplies.

@UNCERF donors 🇳🇱🇬🇧🇸🇪🇩🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰🇨🇦🇺🇸 are also helping to provide swift and effective relief.

Some 33 million people have been affected by the deadly flooding in #Pakistan.

We have already mobilized up to US$7 million, supporting the Government-led response. But much more is needed. A Flash Appeal will be launched tomorrow seeking US$160 million for relief support.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

Urgent appeal for the floods in Pakistan❗

The @UN and the @GovtofPakistan call for $160.3M to provide relief to at least 5.2M people in need after the worst floods in recent history hit the country.
