Pakistan’s monsoon rains and floods killed hundreds of children among 1,000 people. Severe rains and flooding have killed at least 1,033 people, including 348 children, and 1,527 more injured in Pakistan since mid-June.
Sherry Rehman, the minister for climate change, called the floods “unprecedented” and “the worst humanitarian disaster of this decade.”
“Pakistan is going through its eighth cycle of monsoon while normally the country has only three to four cycles of rain,” Rehman said.
“The percentages of super flood torrents are shocking.”
“Pakistan’s priority, at the moment, is this climate-induced humanitarian disaster of epic proportions,” Rehman said, urging the international community to provide aid given Pakistan’s “limited” resources.
“The deployment of the army was authorized to assist with relief and rescue operations in flood-stricken areas,” the country’s Ministry of Interior said.
Army troops are also helping people evacuate to safer places, providing shelter, and meals, and medical care to those affected by the floods, the armed forces said.
UN agency Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in an update on Thursday that the monsoon rains had affected some 3 million people in Pakistan, of whom 184,000 have been displaced to relief camps across the country.
The NDMA said in a report that in the past 24 hours, 150 kilometers (about 93 miles) of roads had been damaged across the country and more than 82,000 homes were partially or fully damaged.
Since mid-June, when the monsoon began, more than 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) of road, 130 bridges, and 495,000 homes have been damaged, according to NDMA’s last situation report, figures also echoed in the OHCA report.
