"The total estimated flood damage is over 30 billion dollars with one-third of the country under water."
New York: Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has called for generous international support during the next phases of rehabilitation of flood-hit people and reconstruction of infrastructure.
He was addressing a news conference as he wrapped up his engagements at the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in New York last night.
