This small story is a follow up to what occurred in Pakistan this summer. As you may know there was a huge flood that took place. Millions of lives were effected and thousands were killed because of it. The World Bank and Asian Development Bank just announced today that the estimated cost of the flood is 9.7 billion dollars. What is now important is for Pakistan to step up and to becoming financially responsive and help with this crisis. The UK, US, etc are doing their share in this aid and need Pakistan to do their job. Gen. Ban Ki-moon stated the flood was, "The worst natural disaster the United Nations has responded to in its 65-year history."
