White House Pledges Support to Pakistan Flood Crisis

The White House issued a statement Tuesday pledging to support Pakistan in the country’s flood crisis. Monsoon rains triggered floods and mudslides in northwestern Pakistan last week, killing an estimated 1,500 people while thousands of others remain trapped on rooftops and elevated areas.

"Our relationship with Pakistan goes far beyond our shared commitment to fight extremists. The United States government stands ready to continue to assist Pakistani authorities address the difficult challenges posed by this natural disaster," the statement said.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department predicts rain for the next four days in Sindh, Punjab, Kashmir, Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa, northeast Balochistan and Islamabad. Officials fear the lack of clean drinking water may trigger an outbreak of water-borne diseases, including cholera.
