It was reported earlier in September that Pakistan would approach major international lenders for financial support to deal with the country's devastating floods, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and others.
A joint report of the NDMA, finance, and planning and development ministries documenting damages due to the floods will be delivered to the international lenders, according to persons with knowledge of the situation.
