The United Nations and its humanitarian partners stand ready to help Pakistan's ongoing relief effort for the people affected by Monday's devastating earthquake, and mobilise any support, if requested, a spokesman of the world body said.
"The UN agencies are mobilising emergency stocks as a preparatory measure in case support is required," spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told the regular noon briefing at UN Headquarters in New York.
In a separate development, Pakistan's UN Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi briefed relevant UN officials about the situation resulting from the 8.1-magnitude earthquake that resulted in the deaths of at least 240 people and injured more than 1,300 others.
