The health, education and communication infrastructure has sustained substantial damage. A considerable part of land including cropped land has been inundated which has caused damage to 80% of cash crops. The fiscal scale of flood incurred damages range into Billions.

The Ambassador of friendly country of China to Pakistan, H.E Liu Jieng presented a cheque of US$ 50,000 to the Chairman National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Dr. Zafar Qadir for the flood victims. China has also promised to extend further aid of US$ 4.7 Million for the flood ravaged areas. China will also provide tents for the flood victims.

This aid contribution from China will go a long way in strengthening the long standing bilateral ties between the neighbourly countries.
