Press Release: Pakistan: European Commission provides €30 million to address humanitarian needs

The European Commission has adopted a €30 humanitarian aid decision to assist the most vulnerable people in Pakistan in urgent need of help due to the heavy monsoon floods of late July 2010.

The main beneficiaries are the conflict-affected people, including internally displaced persons (IDP), people who are returning to their homes but have lost their livelihoods and sometimes also their houses, as well as host families whose capacities have been overstretched by months of hosting IDPs.
