Australian Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic said Australians have been \u201cstaggered by the truly devastating\u201d floods in Pakistan.  \u201c33 million people have been affected, homes, shops, businesses, crops either severely damaged or completely destroyed and the death toll has been heartbreaking,\u201d he told SBS Urdu radio on Sunday.<br \/>\nThe initial pledge led to calls for an increase, including from Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi who called on the Australian government to \u201cpay their fair share\u201d. Australia\u2019s pledge comes following calls from the United Nations for the international community to provide $160 million in aid for the disaster.<br \/>\nPakistan\u2019s neighbour China committed $63.7 million, while the United States promised $44.3 million and the United Kingdom $25.4 million. Australia\u2019s provided $75 million to Pakistan when it last faced catastrophic floods in 2010.<br \/>\nPakistan said it would cost at least $14.6 billion to rebuild and repair the country. Authorities said the overall death toll reached 1,481 this week, as waterborne diseases spread among flood victims.<br \/>\nOn Friday, the Sindh provincial government confirmed 588 malaria cases with another 10,604 suspected, along with 20,064 cases of skin disease and 17,977 of diarrhoea. =DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CANBERRA The Australian government has announced an additional $3 million in aid for Pakistan\u2019s flood relief efforts while expressing support for public\u2019s efforts to raise funds on their own.
