BEIJING - The Red Cross Society of China Thursday announced that it had decided to make a second donation of 2 million yuan ($300,000) to the Pakistan Red Crescent to help relief efforts in the flood-hit south Asian country.
Heavy monsoon rains hit Pakistan in late July and continued to devastate major provinces throughout the country. The United Nations estimated that around 20 million people were affected by the worst floods in the nation's history. Fears of civil unrest remain high.
