Canada to provide another $25M to Pakistan for flood recovery, climate resilience
Not only were many homes in Pakistan destroyed, but other infrastructures were also damaged as well, with millions still living near stagnant flood waters to this day.International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan said Canada is committed to helping Pakistanis as they continue to recover from “the widespread devastation caused by the country’s worst floods in recent history.”Canada inks multibillion-dollar deal for F-35 fighter jets.
“Because climate change is affecting the frequency, duration and intensity of weather events worldwide, it is essential that we support countries working to adapt to climate change and become more climate-resilient so that they are better prepared for these events and to lessen the events’ impact on communities and individuals,” Sajjan said in the statement.
Sajjan visited Pakistan in September 2022 to observe the impact on the ground, according to the statement. To date, Canada has provided a total of $58 million in funding to Pakistan in response to the floods and for longer-term recovery from the floods, including the funding announced Monday.
