Pakistan declares national emergency as flood toll nears 1,000
At least 937 people have died and 33 million ‘badly affected’ as Pakistan struggles to cope with devastating floods.
Hasnain says:
Climate change is real and is unfortunately going to lead to so many more deaths unless radical action is taken. My heart goes out for these folks - and if you can donate, please do.
““Pakistan is under an unprecedented monsoon spell and data suggests the possibility of re-emergence of another cycle in September,” she said.
Two of the worst-hit provinces – Balochistan and Sindh – have received 298mm and 689mm rains respectively this year, which is about 400 percent more than the 30-year average.”
