Pakistan is drowning, and we need help
Since July of this year, Pakistan has been affected by heavy nonstop monsoons and is yet to stop. It is only getting worse. Rural areas in Balochistan, Sindh, KPK, Punjab and Gilgit Baltistan are the most affected.
As of September 4th, over 1300 people have died and over 500,000 homes have been destroyed along with livestock deaths and ruined infrastructure. The floods have left more than 33 million people affected.
Most of Balochistan is still submerged. Locals are forced to flee and cannot account for their missing relatives until much later. More than 100 districts all across the provinces have been impacted.
Quetta, a major city of Balochistan, has been cut off from the rest of the country as the roads and highways are destroyed.
We get monsoons every year and we are used to them but this is not normal. We are in our 8th monsoon cycle when we usually get 3-4 cycles.
Two of the worst-hit provinces – Balochistan and Sindh – have received 298mm and 689mm rains respectively this year, which is about 400 percent more than the 30-year average. (c)
Along with the floods, there are also landslides and glacier bursts that have claimed lives and made the situation worse.
People from other cities were unable to get in contact with their affected relatives because they did not have electricity. The cloud cover meant no solar power either.
There are more monsoon predictions till September. I don't know how we're going to come back from this.
This is worse than the 2010 floods and the government doesn't give a shit.
This is going to have disastrous impacts on our economy and society but what does it matter? after all, the people are only there to vote, right? :)
It is the volunteers and NGOs helping, it is the public. There was no help when Karachi flooded and people died and they don't care now either.
Here are some links for donations if you can.

Some people are more vulnerable to climate impacts than others. Developing countries and communities are often the hardest hit. Many already experience devastating destruction caused by climate change. For example, 2022’s summer of disasters saw Pakistan’s flooding killing thousands and leaving millions without a home. Droughts in Somalia and Ethiopia caused food and water shortages, leaving many people facing hunger and famine. Sudden extreme weather events aren’t the only threat. Climate impacts happen slowly too, but the results can still be devastating. Changes to weather patterns means it becomes harder for communities to count on rains coming to grow crops. And rising sea levels mean thousands in coastal communities risk permanently losing their homes, as huge areas of land go underwater. None of this is a far-flung future; loss and damage is happening now.

Bluish Valley
(an aide-memoire of extreme Pakistan floods in 2022)
my special thanks to @wha_artist , for giving me the opportunity to participate with my poetry in the ICORP monthly news report. (ICORP stands for the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Risk Preparedness) 🐾
Once upon a time, not that far back
Days were blowing from the starving sea
Attracted indeed by the extreme heat
They kept blowing for weeks
There was no ending, nor was there peace
Driest than ever, the land was not able to drink
Not even the Giant Monsoon could drench it deeply
Although It did not stop knocking the bricks
It did not stop pushing, neither
But the ground was to baked to be kissed
And the pain yet to harsh to be embraced
That a few more drops sufficed the river to break
All demons then were cursed, for it cried in despair
Those suffocating tears overwatering, one by one
Entire villages, the whole field
Everything but time drowned along with stones and lime
No mercy was there
Heritage just vanished, submerged
We, Who still remain
Are witnesses ti the excess
MOFRED
🌹thank you!
