After talks with a Pakistani envoy on Sunday, the White House decided to mobilise eight military helicopters from neighbouring Afghanistan. “Pakistan’s a friend, and the United States government and the people of the United States will help as best as we possibly can,” US President George W Bush said.

The Gulf state of Kuwait has pledged $100m in aid to Pakistan, while a plane has landed at Islamabad with the first shipment from a $50m US aid package.

Now the UAE has followed Kuwait and also donated $100 million to Pakistan.
