Afghanistan donated 1 million dollars to Pakistan Tuesday to help the victims of devastating floods, dpa reported.

   Finance Minister Omer Zakhilwal presented the donation to Pakistan's ambassador to Kabul.

   "We want to express our solidarity and sympathy with our brothers and sisters in Pakistan who were hit by floods," the minister said.

   The floods have killed about 1,400 people and affected 20 million others across large areas of the country. Billions of dollars in damage have been caused to infrastructure, crops, livestock and private property.

   The Afghan government previously sent a medical team with supplies to attend to flood refugees.
