Islamabad, Sep 23 : The United Nations has urged international creditors to consider suspending debt repayment for Pakistan.

The UN Development Programme (UNDP) is expected to share the memorandum with the Pakistan government this week.

Both the Pakistan government and Guterres have blamed climate change for the 'monsoon on steroids' that triggered monster floods in the country. In an interview with Bloomberg TV aired on Friday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also made an urgent appeal for debt relief from rich nations as catastrophic floods exacerbated by climate change displaced millions in the country. Sharif has made an urgent appeal for relief in the repayment of debts from rich nations, reminding them that the country is bearing the brunt of environmental damage caused by them to cater to their greed, Geo News reported.

"God forbid this happens, all hell will ," he said.
