The Government of Pakistan is calling for international assistance to respond to the flooding in the country. Heavy rains began in June and since then at least 1,000 people have died as a result of the floods. In addition, some 500,000 people have had to be displaced and millions of citizens have been damaged.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has acknowledged that the magnitude and severity of the disaster is “higher than expected”. It points out that floods have affected 15% of the population, or 33 million people. The province of Sindh has suffered the most damage: 20 people have been left underwater and have lost at least 800,000 hectares of agricultural land. 110 villages across the country are devastated by the floods.

The country ranks eighth in the list of the Risk Indicator developed by the NGO Germanwatch, the eighth country in the world most vulnerable to disasters caused by climate change.
