The U.S. is relying on the military to funnel meals, prefabricated bridges and medical supplies to Pakistan’s flood victims, even as American troops fight a war in neighboring Afghanistan.
U.S. State Department officials said yesterday that flood aid to Pakistan would increase by $20 million, to a total $55 million, to help the estimated 14 million people uprooted by country’s worst natural disaster in 80 years.
