[Dawn] Pakistain is short of $600 million needed to help millions of families rebuild their lives nine months after the country suffered nationwide floods in its worst ever natural disaster, the UN said Wednesday.
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... said a huge shortfall in funds remained. More than $600 million is still to come from donors, with more than $176.5 million needed for agriculture and food security, more than $174.5 million for housing, and more than $106.6 million for water and sanitation projects. The rest of the funds are required to improve education, health, livelihoods, governance, and infrastructure, the United Nations and Pakistain's National Disaster Management Authority told news hounds in Islamabad.
