Kazakhstan’s Commission on Humanitarian Aid discussed providing Pakistan with $400,000 of humanitarian assistance, QazMonitor reports citing the press service of the prime minister.

The aid will be sent with the goal of alleviating the consequences of heavy rains and floods, which led to numerous human casualties in Pakistan.
