World Bank pledges $670m aid for Pakistan

The World Bank has announced a US$470 million ($670 million) aid package to help Pakistan rebuild after this month's deadly earthquake.

"The scale of this disaster is unimaginable, and the problems that survivors are facing in worsening weather conditions are frightening," said World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz.

The October 8 earthquake, which killed about 80,000 people, has left an estimated 3.3 million homeless.
