Geneva: Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Monday that Pakistan had raised a total of $8.57 billion so far for helping in flood recovery from last year’s calamitous floods at a conference in Geneva. Taking to Twitter, Marriyum penned that “the floods, blamed on climate change, dealt a severe blow to Pakistan’s strained economy while displacing some 8 million people and killing at least 1,700. Rebuilding efforts are now estimated to cost more than $16 billion.”
