Description
In late July 2010, Pakistan experienced the worst floods in 80 years due to heavy monsoon rains and strong winds. On September 6, 2010, the Chinese government pledged 200 million RMB to the Government of Pakistan for flood relief and humanitarian efforts. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu confirmed the massive donation on the evening of September 6, and Chinese Ambassador Liu Jian called Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani to inform them about the Chinese government's decision. As of September 17, 2010, "[d]iscussion with the Pakistani government on the specifics of the assistance is now under way". The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Financial Tracking Service captures this donation in flow ID #78775. It is unclear if these funds were actually disbursed and how they were spent.
