ISLAMABAD: German public donations for the flood victims in Pakistan have almost doubled in a week and have crossed $210 million.
German Institute on Social Matters, DZI, which monitors fund raising by German relief organisations, stated that 45 German relief organisations had collected $210 million by September 17.
According to the Pakistani embassy in Berlin, the donations were at the level of $110 million last week.
Donations for the flood victims are still pouring in. In the beginning, the flow of donations was slow, but it picked up in the wake of strong appeals by the German political leadership and intense coverage of the floods by the German media.
According to DZI, more than six organisations have collected over $13 million each.
These are Entiwicklung, Hilft, German Red Cross-DRK, Aktion Deutschland Hilft, Deutsche Welthungerhilfe, Diackonie Katastrophenhihlfe and the Claritas. APP
