According to Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority, the country’s most populous province, Punjab, has dropped to 120 people across the country since seasonal rainfall started on 26 June.
The rising water level of the rivers, the more rainfall, the collapse of the houses in the rural areas and the obstacles of transportation connection, has fasted the memory of catastrophic floods in 2022, which submerged the third part of the country. More than 5 million people were affected in that flood.
The middle and northern regions of Pakistan are expected to receive more rainfall within the next 72 hours.
Those who forecast the weather have warned up to 4 million 50 thousand cusecs “extraordinary high” flood levels on the banks of the Jhilam River.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan regions are also likely to flood due to the explosion of glacier lakes.
Disaster deficit
Under the supervision of the United Nations, Pakistan’s UN agencies have published the Human Affairs Coordination Office (OCHA), an inter-agency monsoon disaster project, which has been led by the Pakistani government.
Although pre-provided support supply is much lower than the estimated requirement, major fields such as protection, nutrition, shelter and non-food items are facing a huge deficit.
Tolerance
In this emergency, the UN World Food Program (WFP) and the Pakistani government have launched a climate-humki project in Khyber Pakhtunkhwar and Shangla district this week.
Under this initiative, pre -Warning systems will be installed, communities will be trained for safe withdrawal and local power for disaster response will be strengthened.
WFP Director Coco Usheyama said, “Climate repeated climate causes shaking, hunger and malnutrition, which causes life, livelihood and all food systems to be in danger.”
“The project represents multi -legal investment in pre -west system and action.”
Memory of destruction in 2022
This growing catastrophe, Pakistan’s sensitivity to climate shock again expresses again.
In 2022, more than a thousand people were killed due to unprecedented rainy floods, millions of people were displaced and the water system was destroyed, which could reduce millions of people to reduce water.
The disaster also caused a huge economic loss to about 40 billion dollars and reversed the effort to develop the year.
Experts have warned that irregular rainfall trends every year due to climate change are affecting Pakistan and other parts of South Asia.
