30 million people affected by floods in Pakistan alone… “National Emergency”

[앵커]

Pakistan suffers from the worst monsoon monsoon floods.

The number of victims has reached 30 million, more than 10% of the total population, and the death toll is close to 1,000.

The Pakistani government has declared it a national emergency and is responding to unprecedented damage.

The whole building collapses into a coma.

As the river flowing under the building grew and weakened the ground, it eventually collapsed.

The road disappeared without a trace, and a black valley was created in its place with water flowing down from the mountain.

Displaced people who only brought their household items with them move through the water that is taller than a person’s height.

Pakistan is experiencing the worst flood damage as it experiences an unprecedented monsoon rainy season.

“It’s a humanitarian disaster on a massive scale. Thousands of people have not been able to find refuge, and many are isolated without food.”

The Pakistani government has declared it a national emergency, claiming that nearly 30 million people have been displaced as the southern region is nearly submerged.

Thirteen percent of Pakistan’s population has been displaced by flooding.

In South Asia, such as India and Pakistan, the monsoon rainy season starts from June and continues until September.

According to the Pakistan Disaster Management Agency, the death toll since June has risen to close to 1,000, including 300 children.

It was also found that 495,000 houses were damaged.

“We have lost our homes and buffalo. We need a tent to stay in right now and we need government support. The children are sick and they are drinking muddy water because there is no water to drink.”

The authorities are mobilizing all available resources to provide support, but they are having difficulties in handling disasters due to severe economic difficulties.

International organizations such as the United Nations have mobilized emergency funds to help.
