In the wake of above-average rains, a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF), and cloudbursts, climate change has directly impacted Pakistan, which is still reeling from the “climate-induced humanitarian crisis.”
Residents of Pakistan’s four provinces—Balochistan, Sindh, Punjab (south), and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa—are reportedly escaping flooding brought on by record-breaking monsoon rains, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
International organisations responded to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s request by deciding to provide $500 million for Pakistani aid as record monsoon rains have resulted in a “climate-induced humanitarian calamity” that has killed over 900 people since June.
