The United States has announced a new pledge of $60 million to help Pakistan deal with the massive flooding that has crippled the country.
"With a new pledge that I am making today of $60 million today, the United States will be contributing more than $150 million toward emergency flood relief," US secretary of state Hillary Clinton told the UN General Assembly.
About $92 million of that total is in direct support of the UN relief plan, she added.
She said the funds were being used to provide critical supplies and support operations of the Pakistan National Disaster Management Authority and other organisations responding to the crisis.
The United States, Ms Clinton added, was also providing technical assistance and mobilising military and civilian resources to deliver supplies and rescue flood victims.
