- Thirty houses have been completely destroyed and 145 partially damaged in Balochistan
- China and Pakistan have been working on multibillion-dollar CPEC projects in the province
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has received a $6 million grant from China for the reconstruction of houses destroyed by floods in the southwestern province of Balochistan, state media said on Tuesday.
The ongoing spell of monsoon rains has killed 802 people and injured 1,088 across the country, with 24 fatalities in Balochistan since June 26.
Thirty houses have been completely destroyed and 145 partially damaged during the ongoing monsoon season in the province, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
“The monthly foreign economic assistance report released by the Economic Affairs Division for July 2025 reveals that the grant of $6 million from China has been disbursed,” the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) news agency reported.
The Chinese aid will help displaced families by providing them with durable housing solutions. It is part of China’s broader development assistance to Pakistan which also includes funding for infrastructure, energy and scientific research.
The APP also quoted Khurram Shehzad, the adviser to Pakistan’s finance minister, as saying China’s support underscored its commitment to strengthening infrastructure and housing in Pakistan’s most vulnerable areas.
China has previously aided Pakistan following floods with grants, relief supplies and reconstruction support.
The two countries are close allies and have been jointly working on multibillion-dollar energy and infrastructure development projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
