THE UNITED NATIONS’ Secretary-General today called for “massive investments” to help Pakistan recover from last year’s devastating floods and better resist climate change, as financial pledges poured in.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told the conference his country was “racing against time” to deal with towering needs. Pakistan’s government has said the country should be able to cover half the cost, but is urging the international community to fund the rest. Speaking via video-link, French President Emmanuel Macron told the conference that his country would contribute €360 million.

230 million of them and they can't come up with 15 billion in three years. Shambolic.
One third of Pakistan was not flooded. BBC admitted they were caught spoofing & reporting that as fake news. You boys didn’t get the memo obviously.
