Floods Devastate Pakistan
Source: Dawn
Today Pakistan is a people and a nation that is under water and struggling to stay afloat.
Pakistan is in dire need of a collective national prayer with the monsoon floods have devastated Pakistan in recent days. Over 1100 people have died in the worst monsoon rains in 40 years and in living memory.
Over a million people have been affected by the floods in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province alone with the number set to rise. Balochistan is flooded as is Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu Kashmir, FATA and many parts of Punjab. The list of major cities affected are endless from Dera Murad Jamali and Swat to Nowshera and Mianwali and the list can go on and on whilst the number of villages and towns affected too many to list.
The floods follow the Margalla plane crash of recent days, Pakistan is facing immense challenges and as a Pakistani I must say that these are testing times for Pakistan. I urge all Pakistanis inside and outside of Pakistan to do whatever they can to support Pakistan at this crucial time. Financial help will be needed urgently and I urge you to support in any way you can.
