UNICEF, the United Nations International Children’s Education Fund, has issued a warning that more than three million children are at danger for health problems amid the other crises that are already looming in the wake of the nation’s disastrous floods.
A report from the international organisation for children’s rights stated that “torrential monsoon rains have triggered the most severe flooding in Pakistan’s recent history, washing away villages and leaving more than three million children in need of humanitarian assistance and at increased risk of waterborne diseases, drowning, and malnutrition.”
It stated that the devastation caused by this year’s high monsoon rains in Pakistan, which brought about devastating storms, floods, and landslides, has affected at least 33 million people, of whom about 16 million are children.
