The Disasters Emergency Committee appeal for the flood relief effort in Pakistan has now raised £35m.

Today’s total shows continued steady progress in the appeal’s fundraising, which began slowly. Approximately £16m has been raised in the last week, just £1m less than the fundraising tally after the first two weeks after the DEC launched the appeal  on August 3.

DEC chief executive Brendan Gormley met with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg today at the charity’s Euston offices, and repeated his now familiar refrain: “The UK public have led the world with their generosity but there is an enormous amount of work still to be done in Pakistan. Our members and their partners have reached 800,000 people so far, but millions still need help.”
