The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has deployed a Disaster Assistance Response Team to respond to the devastating flooding in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
According to the agency, the Disaster Assistance Response Team, or DART, will \u201clead the US government\u2019s response efforts in Pakistan,\u201d where at least 1,100 have been killed and at least 4,800 have been injured in floods across the country since June 14.<\/p>\n
A USAID spokesperson told CNN Friday that there are currently \u201cfour members of the DART on the ground in Pakistan working to assess the situation and determine how the United States can work with the Government of Pakistan to provide additional resources.\u201d<\/p>\n
More members of the team are on their way, and \u201cthe DART will remain active on the ground until USAID can determine that needs have been met,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
According to the spokesperson, The Department of Defense \u201cis sending an assessment team to Islamabad to determine what potential support DoD can provide to USAID as part of the United States\u2019 assistance to the flooding crisis in Pakistan.\u201d They said the aid \u201cremains in close coordination with DoD to determine any necessary support for our response.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to mobilizing the DART, U.S. government staff based in the region and Washington, D.C., are monitoring the situation closely, including any potential impacts the flooding may have in the broader region,\u201d the agency said in a press release Friday.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, USAID announced that the US will provide $30 million in humanitarian assistance in response to the flooding, which it said \u201chas affected an estimated 33 million people,\u201d destroyed or damaged one million homes, and has led to the loss of \u201cnearly 735,000 livestock \u2014 a major source of livelihoods and food.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith these funds, USAID partners will prioritize urgently needed support for food, nutrition, multi-purpose cash, safe water, improved sanitation and hygiene, and shelter assistance,\u201d the press release from the agency said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
