World Bank approves $21 million for infrastructure in Balochistan
[The Nation (Pak)] World Bank has granted approval for a substantial amount of $21 million to aid the rehabilitation and recovery of areas that have been severely affected by floods in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
The allocated funds will primarily be utilized to enhance the water drainage infrastructure in Balochistan. By improving the existing infrastructure, the region’s ability to effectively manage water resources and mitigate the risks associated with floods will be significantly enhanced.

The blurb further emphasizes that the improved infrastructure will play a vital role in reducing the vulnerability to flood-related damages.

#5 Do you guys and gals know of IMF's Special Drawing
Rights? It amounts to fiat financial aid. They create financial aid out of thin air. IMF creates "special drawing rights" out of nothing, and countries can exchange those Special Drawing Rights for hard currency. You no longer need donors for financial aid, they just print financial aid like they print dollars/currency.
