In his address to the UN General Assembly on Thursday, US Vice President Joe Biden pleaded for assistance for Pakistan, which has been severely affected by devastating floods.
The UN has pleaded with the world to assist Pakistan in coping with the situation after the recent unprecedented monsoon rains led to floods throughout the nation and cost the economy more than $30 billion.
More than 1,500 individuals lost their lives as a result of the terrible floods, and thousands of homes and cattle were also destroyed. Millions of people are now homeless and living outdoors, as the rest of the nation struggles to recover from the flood as a disease outbreak spreads through flood-affected districts.
At the 77th General Assembly meeting of the United Nations (UNGA), The world is now aware of Pakistan's flood-stricken situation thanks to US President Joe Biden.
During his speech to the UNGA session, the US president stated that Pakistan was still underwater and needed assistance. As Joe Biden spoke in the renowned General Assembly hall, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was also present. On September 23, PM Shehbaz will address the UNGA. He will concentrate on the difficulties Pakistan is currently experiencing as a result of the recent, devastating floods brought on by climate change. US Vice President Joe Biden pledged an additional $2.9 billion for a fund to help combat global food insecurity during his speech.
According to a statement, the funding "builds on the $6.9 billion in US government assistance previously pledged to enhance global food security."
