White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton talked about the U.S. response to Pakistan’s humanitarian crisis Thursday.
“This catastrophe is one that’s on a human scale and widespread, and the United States is doing everything that it can to help the country of Pakistan. We’ve given them tens of millions of dollars in aid. U.S. helicopters and C130s are there delivering hundreds of thousands of pounds of food and medical supplies,” Burton told reporters aboard Air Force One.
The White House says that they are responding to all the requests that come in from the Pakistani government.
“Our relationship with Pakistan is one that’s more than just about fighting armed extremists and we’re hoping to help them where we can.”
