International donors on Thursday pledged US 244 million dollars for relief and rehabilitation of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) following the military operation in parts of NWFP to eliminate extremists and terrorists. Minister of State for Economic Affairs Division Hina Rabbani Khar said the US$ 244 includes US$ 110 announced by the United States of America for the around two million displaced people. She said the United Nations will launch a flash appeal on Friday in a bid to raise from 500 to 600 million dollars for the IDPs. The meeting of international donors chaired by Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani expressed full solidarity and support to the government in its efforts to fight militancy. The minister said the amount pledged would be utilized for relief and reconstruction of activities through the United Nations and International Committee of Red Cross. Khar termed the response of the donors as very good and said Pakistan presented donors the political strategy devised to deal with the humanitarian crisis.
