Pakistan's government says the figure for losses and rebuilding now stands at more than USD 30 billion with over two million homes damaged or destroyed. Of course, the human costs of this all are unimaginable. In this discussion, the Ambassador shares the concerns, the future pathways, and how the international community has stepped up and what needs to be done as the country looks to recover from this calamity.
