In the recent Monsoon Season, Pakistan has suffered from the most devastating floods in the nation’s history. The nation of Pakistan ravages with poverty and unemployment. The Pakistani middle class has to manage through rising prices of fuel, gas and electricity. The floods have rubbed salt on the wounds of the Pakistanis.
Around 33 million people affected from the floods in Pakistan. 16 million of the effected individuals are children, according to the report from UNICEF. Major streams of water in the country have broken through their barriers to cause destruction of villages mainly. The country’s critical infrastructure has mainly damaged in all provinces of the country. The worst affected areas are Baluchistan and Sindh. The students of the country could not have their education continued due to the devastation of schools in the nation that suffers from extreme poverty already. The nationalistic setup of the country in medical terms could not manage the load of cases coming in on a daily basis.
The nation has partnered with United Nations to respond to the natural catastrophe. However, the national governments of Pakistan in the past could not build dams timely to restrict water from spilling out of the established setups. The issue of KalaBagh Dam politicized for many years while the process of global warming caused the intensity of floods to increase with time.
The issue of global warming is the main cause of floods in all regions of the world. However, the cancer of corruption does not allow people to have stable lives in developing nations. The leaders of countries like Pakistan could not fulfill their ethical responsibility to at least protect the lives of the people by building artificial systems to control and manage natural calamities. For now, as always, Pakistanis need help to maintain their physical survival. The Pakistani Society urges the people of all the world to send tents, dried food, frozen milk and fruits along with medical supplies to aid them in this hour of need.
One should remember that Pakistanis have good hearts filled with humanistic concern that became more than visible during the COVID-19 crisis. The Pakistani Twitter filled with love and affection for the sufferers of Coronavirus all over the world generally, but Pakistanis developed sentiments towards the neighboring nation of India on a humanistic ground. Please, we request the entire world to come together to aid the Pakistanis in their terrible times. The countries of India and Pakistan joined hands with each in solidarity during the COVID-19 pandemic setting aside years of differences that caused wars between the two nations when Twitter’s leading trends were #PakistanStandswithIndia and #HelpIndia
