Pakistan in talks for massive aid package
Pakistan is holding talks with the International Monetary Fund to discuss its $11bn loan package in the wake of the devastating floods that have left millions homeless.
Earlier, UN officials described the humanitarian situation as critical.
They said that although the UN had raised 70% of the $460m (£295m) needed for emergency relief, many people had yet to receive any help.
In the UK, relief agencies have said public donors have given £29m ($45m) to the relief effort. They also said the international response had been slow to build up, but that donations had increased in the second week.
Response in Malta to the disaster that has impacted millions of people has been generally absent.
