Pakistan pledges sustained support to Sri Lanka as cyclone recovery continues

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan pledged on Wednesday to provide phased and ongoing aid to Sri Lanka, reaffirming Islamabad’s “regional responsibility” to support its close neighbor through relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction following a devastating cyclone. The commitment came as Sri Lanka grapples with the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah, which made landfall on Nov. 28 and triggered floods and landslides that left at least 618 people dead, with hundreds still missing and more than two million displaced, officials say.
