The announcement came from the USAID administrator who visited flood-affected areas of Pakistan

Islamabad: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Samantha Power announced on Friday that Washington would provide an additional $20 million in humanitarian assistance to Pakistan to mitigate the effects of the devastating floods.
"I've announced an additional $20 million for Pakistan. During my time here, I’ve seen the staggering devastation of the floods up close," said Power in a tweet.

"I've announced an additional $20 million for Pakistan. During my time here, I’ve seen the staggering devastation of the floods up close," said Power in a tweet.
According to a statement issued by USAID said: “Today in Islamabad, Administrator Samantha Power announced that the United States, through the US Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing an additional $20 million in humanitarian assistance to support the people affected by severe flooding in Pakistan resulting from heavy monsoon rains, as well as landslides and glacial lake outbursts, that have been ongoing since June.”
The agency said the additional support builds on the announcement made last week of $30 million being offered by the US in humanitarian assistance to Pakistan.
In another tweet, Power said in Dadu, she spoke with families who have been displaced by the floodwaters.
"One man said that in his 60 years, he has “never seen such a rainfall.” Young children shared how their schools had been completely destroyed, and they didn’t know when they’d be able to return."
