Islamabad: It emerged on Friday that the United Nations would launch a fresh appeal next week for Pakistan flood victims. It also laid bare that its initial $160 million appeal was insufficient to meet the country’s needs. Julien Frederic Morcom-Harneis, the United Nations resident coordinator and humanitarian coordinator in Pakistan, said: “We will appeal for life-saving drugs along with our partners. The reconstruction and rehabilitation phase will come later.”
