In his address to the UN General Assembly on Thursday, US Vice President Joe Biden pleaded for assistance for Pakistan, which has been severely affected by terrible floods.
The UN has pleaded with the globe to assist Pakistan in coping with the crisis after the recent exceptional monsoon rains led to floods throughout the nation and cost the economy more than $30 billion.
President of the United States Joe Biden has brought flood-stricken Pakistan to the attention of the world during the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
During his speech to the UNGA session, the US president stated that Pakistan was still underwater and needed assistance.
