The United States will give $110 million for humanitarian aid to Pakistan to assist them while the country fights Taliban militants. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made the announcement at the White House saying it would go to help almost 2 million Pakistani people who have been displaced due to the fighting in the Swat region. The money will go towards the purchase of food, water, tents, fm radios and generators to provide water and light for those people that are living in tent cities. Secretary Clinton says the aid is not only "the right thing to do but essential." The money will not be distributed directly to the Pakistani government but will instead be channeled to humanitarian aid organizations.
