Flooding in Pakistan: SDC pursuing efforts to provide access to drinking water and education

Pakistan has suffered one of the worst catastrophes in its history. In late August, an unusually strong monsoon left large swathes of the country flooded for several weeks. When the Pakistani authorities launched an international appeal for help, the SDC responded swiftly by releasing CHF 3 million in aid. It also deployed a Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit (SHA) team to assist on the ground.
