UN to raise Pakistan quake aid appeal to 549 million dollars
ISLAMABAD (AFP) Oct 26, 2005
The UN is to raise its flash appeal for earthquake victims in Pakistan to 549 million dollars, a Pakistani diplomat said Wednesday, increasing the total from 312 million dollars.

"The United Nations has upgraded its flash appeal to 549 million dollars," Masood Khan, Pakistan's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, told AFP hours ahead of a crucial donors conference in the Swiss city.

The October 8 quake killed more than 53,000 people in Pakistan and left 3.3 million homeless.
