| New Zealand will contribute 1 million NZ
dollars (750,000 US dollars) to the relief effort underway to help victims
of a massive earthquake that has devastated parts of Pakistan and India,
said government sources on Monday.
Caretaker Aid Minister Marian Hobbs said the situation in
Pakistan is very serious and there is a great need for the international
community to assist in efforts to find the injured and care for the
survivors. Hobbs said the aid of money would most likely be spent on
essential supplies such as tents, blankets and medicines, which Pakistan had
requested.
