Muhammad Rasheed Mughal, a 75-year-old villager, recounts the impact of last year&#039;s flood, which washed away bridges, residential houses, and land.<\/p>\n<p>\"Last year&#039;s flood swept away bridges, residential houses, land and everything.

She spent much of her career working on multi-million dollar projects in the megacity of Karachi. \n\nThe architect, who trained in the United Kingdom, is behind some of Karachi's most notable buildings. She is known for brutalist constructions such as the Pakistan State Oil headquarters, as well as a string of luxury homes. \n\nAs she was considering retirement, a series of natural disasters - including a massive earthquake in 2005 and flooding in 2010 - made her think again. \n\n\"I had to find the solution, or find a way by which I could build up the capacities of people so that they could fend for themselves, rather than waiting for outside help,\" she explains. \n\n\"My motto is zero carbon, zero waste, zero donor, which I think leads to zero poverty.\" \n\nWhy do we need to build flood-proof housing? \n\nClimate change is making monsoon rains heavier and more unpredictable, scientists say. The need to flood-proof the country is now more urgent than ever, particularly as the poorest communities live in the most vulnerable areas. \n\nPakistan has the world's fifth-largest population. It is responsible for less than 1 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions but is one of the nations most vulnerable to the effects of extreme weather. \n\nPono Colony, a few hundred kilometres outside Karachi, is made up of around 100 houses. It was developed just months before catastrophic monsoon rains arrived last summer and displaced eight million people. \n\nThe village's elevated homes are protected from rushing water, while their bamboo skeletons , which go deep into the ground, can withstand pressure without being uprooted. \n\n\"We continued to live in them,\" says Khomo Kohli, a 45-year-old resident of Pono Colony village. \n\n\"The rest of the residents had to move onto the road where they lived for two months until the water receded.\" \n\nIn rural Sindh, tens of thousands of people are still displaced and stagnant water stands in large parts of farmland almost a year after the country's worst-ever floods. \n\nThe World Bank and Asian Development Bank in a joint study estimated Pakistan sustained \u20ac29.7 billion in damage and economic losses and would require \u20ac15 billion for reconstruction and rehabilitation . \n\nWhat do flood-proof homes look like? \n\nKnown locally as \"chanwara\", the mud huts are an improved take on the traditional single-room houses dotted along the landscape of southern Sindh province and Rajasthan state in India . \n\nThey require only locally available materials: lime, clay, bamboo and thatching. \n\nWith straightforward training for locals, they can be assembled at a cost of around \u20ac157, roughly an eighth of the cost of a cement and brick house. \n\n\"I call it a kind of co-building and co-creation, because the people have an equal part in embellishing it and making it comfortable for themselves,\" says Lari. \n\nShe recalls working on social housing in Lahore in the 1970s, when local women pored over her plans and probed her on where their chickens would live. \n\n\"Those chickens have really remained with me, the women's needs are really the uppermost when I'm designing,\" she explains. \n\nThis time around, the redesign of traditional stoves has become a significant feature. They are now lifted off the floor. \n\n\"Earlier, the stove would have been on the ground level and so it was immensely unhygienic,\u201d says Champa Kanji, who has been trained by Lari's team to build stoves for homes across Sindh. \n\n\u201cSmall children would burn themselves on the flames, stray dogs would lick pots and germs would spread.\" \n\nLari's work has been recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects, which awarded her the 2023 Royal Gold Medal for her dedication to using architecture to change people's lives. \n\nWatch the video above to learn more about Yasmeen\u2019s flood-proof housing. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>At 82 years old, architect Yasmeen Lari is forging a path to survival for Pakistan&#039;s rural communities living on the frontline of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>The esteemed architect swapped designing luxury homes in the capital for developing pioneering flood-proof bamboo houses in vulnerable communities.<\/p>\n<p>The few pilot settlements already constructed are credited with saving families from the worst of the <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//09//07//pakistan-floods-parts-of-the-country-now-like-a-sea-says-prime-minister/">catastrophic monsoon<\/strong><\/a> flooding that left a third of the country underwater last year.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Lari is campaigning to scale up the project to one million homes made from affordable local materials, bringing new jobs to the most vulnerable areas.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is Yasmeen Lari?<\/h2><p>Lari was Pakistan&#039;s first female architect.

questioning for eight days, a court ruled Wednesday, a day after the country's popular opposition leader was dragged from a courtroom and arrested. \n\nHis detention set off clashes between his supporters and police Tuesday, leaving at least four people dead. On Wednesday, angry protesters stormed and set fire to a building housing Radio Pakistan in the northwest. \n\nThe 70-year-old politician lost power last year but remains the country's most popular opposition figure. He is the seventh former prime minister to be arrested in Pakistan. His dramatic arrest on Tuesday deepened the political turmoil. \n\nTwo people were killed first, one Tuesday in the southwestern city of Quetta and another in the northwestern city of Peshawar overnight. Two more were in clashes with police Wednesday in Peshawar. \n\nIn eastern Punjab province, where authorities said 157 police officers were injured in clashes with Khan supporters, the local government asked the army to step in and restore order. \n\nPakistan's GEO television broadcast footage showing Khan appearing before a judge at a temporary court inside a police compound Wednesday. The former premier was seen seated in a chair, holding documents. He appeared calm but tired. \n\nEarlier, the National Accountability Bureau requested a 14-day detention of Khan, but the tribunal said authorities could keep him in their custody for eight days. \n\nMeanwhile, Khan's legal team challenged his arrest before the Islamabad High Court, seeking his release. \n\nAlso in Peshawar, Khan's supporters raided the building housing Radio Pakistan, damaging equipment and setting fire to it, said police official Naeem Khan. Some of the employees were trapped inside, he said, and police were trying to restore order. \n\nKhan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party had called for demonstrators to remain peaceful, hours after mobs angered over the dramatic arrest set fire to the residence of a top army general in the eastern city of Lahore. \n\nWhen he was arrested on Tuesday, Khan was appearing in court on multiple corruption charges brought by Islamabad police. As he showed up in court, dozens of agents from the National Accountability Bureau backed by paramilitary troops stormed the courtroom, breaking windows after Khan's guards refused to open the door. \n\nKhan's supporters attacked the military's headquarters in the garrison city of Rawalpindi near the capital, Islamabad, but did not reach the main building housing the offices of army chief Gen. Asim Munir. \n\nOther demonstrators tried to reach the prime minister's residence in Lahore, but were driven off by baton-wielding police. Others attacked vehicles carrying troops and hit armed soldiers with sticks. So far, police and soldiers have not fired at protesters. \n\nThe military has not commented on the attacks on its facilities. None of the leaders from Khan's party denounced the attacks on the military. \n\nA police statement Wednesday said officers in eastern Punjab province arrested 945 Khan supporters since Tuesday \u2014 including Asad Umar, a senior leader from Khan's party. Dozens of Khan supporters were also detained in Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar and elsewhere. \n\nShah Mahmood Qureshi, senior vice president from Khan's party, appealed for peaceful demonstrations Wednesday, urging followers: \"Don't damage public property, don't attack offices, as we are peace lovers.\" He said the party is considering challenging Khan's arrest in the Supreme Court. \n\nBy morning, police said some 2,000 protesters still surrounded the fire-damaged residence in Lahore of Lt. Gen. Salman Fayyaz Ghani, a top regional commander. They chanted slogans at the military, including \"Khan is our red line and you have crossed it.\" Ghani and his family members were moved to a safer place when the mob on Tuesday first attacked their sprawling house. \n\nPolice deployed in force across the country, and placed shipping containers on a road leading to the sprawling police compound in Islamabad where Khan is being held and where he appeared before a judge at the temporary court placed there for security reasons, according to the government. \n\nAmid violence, Pakistan's telecommunication authority on Tuesday blocked social media, including Twitter. The government also suspended internet service in Islamabad and other cities. Classes at some private schools were cancelled for Wednesday. \n\nRights group Amnesty International said it was alarmed by reports of Pakistani authorities blocking access to mobile internet networks and social media \u2014 Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are suspended for a second day. Amnesty urged authorities to show restraint, saying clashes between law enforcement and Khan's supporters risk human rights violations. \n\nThe National Accountability Bureau has detained and investigated former officials, including former prime ministers, politicians and retired military officers. But some view the NAB as a tool used by those in power, especially the military, to crack down on political opponents. \n\nWhen Khan was in power, his government arrested Shahbaz Sharif, then the opposition leader, through the NAB. Sharif was facing multiple corruption cases when he managed to oust Khan in a 2022 no-confidence vote. The charges were later dropped, citing a lack of evidence. \n\nPrime Minister Sharif returned to Pakistan on Wednesday from a U.K. trip and was to hold a Cabinet meeting on the latest developments. His brother, Nawaz Sharif, who also served as prime minister, was arrested several times on corruption allegations. \n\nIn March, police stormed Khan's Lahore residence, seeking to arrest him in a corruption case related to hiding income from the sale of official gifts. \n\nLater Wednesday, Khan appeared in a different courtroom at the high security court and was indicted in the lingering graft case, pleading not guilty, local media said. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan can be held for questioning for eight days, a court ruled Wednesday, a day after the country&#039;s popular opposition leader was dragged from a courtroom and arrested.<\/p>\n<p>His detention set off clashes between his supporters and police Tuesday, leaving at least four people dead.

end of the holy month of Ramadan, the Euronews Culture team brings you another recipe from the Ramadan table. \n\nThis time we\u2019re looking at South Asia, home to one-third of the world\u2019s Muslims, where Eid is being celebrated today.\u00a0 \n\nFor the past four weeks, Muslims around the world have been fasting to celebrate Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. The fasts are observed daily from sunrise to sunset. During that period those people don't eat, drink, smoke, or engage in sexual activities until the fast is \u201copened\u201d at the Iftar food table.\u00a0 \n\nThe month of Ramadan continues until a crescent moon is spotted. Since the Islamic lunar calendar is 11 days shorter than the widely used Gregorian solar calendar, Eid falls on a different day each year.\u00a0 \n\nThe 1.8 billion Muslims in the world are spread across different countries from east to west.\u00a0Oftentimes, this means the first day of Eid can vary between different Islamic countries depending on the moon sighting in each country.\u00a0 \n\nThis year, for example, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and most countries in the Middle East started celebrating Eid yesterday (Friday, 21 April) whereas, in Pakistan, India, and even Morocco, Eid starts today (Saturday, 22 April).\u00a0 \n\nToday, as most of South Asia celebrates Eid, we are sharing with you a recipe for Dahi Baray (lentil fritters in yoghurt) \u2013 fried or steamed fritters made from pounded lentils in a sweet, tangy, or spicy yogh urt sauce. \n\nGrowing up in Pakistan, I have had Dahi Baray countless times. They\u2019re eaten all year round \u2013 as a snack, an appetizer, or a side dish \u2013 but have a special place at the Ramadan Iftar table and also on the Eid feast table. \n\nDahi Baray \n\nServes: 3-5 persons \n\nTotal time: Up to 1 hour \n\nIngredients: \n\nFor the baras: \n\n\u00bd Cup yellow lentils (moong daal) \n\n\u00bd tsp Carom seeds (Ajwain) \n\n1 cup sifted gram flour \n\n1 tbs corn oil \n\n\u00bc tsp baking soda \n\n1 tsp (or to taste) red chilli powder \n\n\u00bd tsp turmeric powder \n\n1 tbs salt \n\nCooking oil for deep frying \n\nLukewarm water as required \n\nFor the yoghurt sauce: \n\n4-5 tbs (or to taste) sugar \n\n1 cup yoghurt \n\n\u00bc tsp salt \n\n\u00bd cup milk \n\n4-5 tbs cream \n\nOptional: \n\nImli chutney (Tamarind sauce) \n\nCoriander sauce \n\nDahi bara masala\/Chaat masala to taste \n\nInstructions: \n\nPreparation: \n\n1. In a spice mixer, add yellow lentils and carom seeds. Grind to make a fine powder & set aside. \n\n2. In a bowl, add gram flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and the ground lentil powder and mix well. \n\n3. Gradually add water and whisk well until a thick batter is formed. \n\n4. Add corn oil and whisk for 2 minutes. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes. \n\n5. After 15 minutes, add baking soda to the mix and whisk. \n\n6. In a frying pan, heat some oil. Take out the batter using a big spoon and make circular shapes (for the baras) in the oil.\u00a0Fry on medium-low heat until golden brown. \n\n7. In a bowl, pour some lukewarm water and add 1 tsp salt. \n\n8. Take out the fried baras from the pan and soak them in the bowl of water for 15-20 minutes. \n\n9. While the baras are being soaked, prepare the yoghurt sauce. Pour yoghurt in a bowl. Add 4-5 tbs of sugar, \u00bc tsp salt, 4-5 tbs of cream, and \u00bd cup milk. Whisk well. \n\nAssembling: \n\n10. Take out the baras from the bowl of water and gently squeeze each piece (bara) in your palm to remove the excess water. \n\n11. Line up a serving dish with the baras and pour the yoghurt mix on top. Sprinkle some dahi bara masala (available in Indian supermarkets) or chaat masala (available in most supermarkets). \n\nFeel free to pour some imli chutney (tamarind sauce) and\/or coriander sauce, both of which you can easily find in an Indian supermarket. \n\nSome people also like to add boiled potatoes and onions to the final assembly dish but just the baras alone with the yoghurt sauce makes a fine treat!","htmlText":"<p>As Muslims around the world celebrate <em>Eid-ul-Fitr<\/em>\u00a0at the end of the holy month of Ramadan, the <em>Euronews Culture<\/em> team brings you another <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2023//04//21//ramadan-recipe-how-to-make-sicilian-couscous-alla-trapanese/">recipe from the Ramadan table.<\/p>\n<p>This time we\u2019re looking at South Asia, home to one-third of the world\u2019s Muslims, where Eid is being celebrated today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the past four weeks, Muslims around the world have been fasting to celebrate Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.

submerged a third of Pakistan, people are still struggling to survive. \n\nInflation has sent the price of food skyrocketing and families, especially, are being forced to cut back on their meals. Doctors are reporting increased cases of malnutrition, according to Save the Children. \n\nMany are still living in tents around stagnant water and surviving on just one meal a day, the charity says. \n\n\u201cThis is one of the biggest disasters this country has ever seen, and after six months, we are still suffering,\u201d says Khuram Gondal, charity Save the Children\u2019s country director for Pakistan. \n\n\u201cThese devastating floods are an acute example of how those living in a country responsible for less than 1 per cent of global carbon emissions are seeing their lives completely turned upside down by the climate crisis.\u201d \n\nGondal adds that, as with many disasters, children are bearing the brunt of the impact. \n\nJust this week, Pakistan's foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the flooding was \u201cthe biggest, most devastating climate catastrophe that we\u2019ve ever experienced.\u201d \n\nAnd, at the time of the flooding, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif warned that \u201cwhat happened in Pakistan will now stay in Pakistan.\u201d He called the country the \u201cground zero of climate change\u201d. \n\nPakistan: Cases of malnutrition are rising \n\nCommunities in Sindh province affected by the floods have told Save the Children staff they are barely surviving due to agricultural land being ruined. It is the main income source for most families in the area. \n\nHajra lives in a tent with her husband and three children as their house is still damaged by stagnant flood water. Her husband barely earns enough money to buy food for one meal a day for the family as a daily wage labourer. \n\n\u201cWe had nothing to eat during the rains, and no milk for the children. It was difficult for us to eat the food as our children start crying when they see us eat, so we fed them what we had,\u201d she says. \n\n\u201cThere was nothing left to eat for my husband and me. What should we do? Eat and see our children crying and hungry?\u201d \n\nHer 10-month-old baby has developed severe acute malnutrition due to a lack of food as Hajra was weak, sick and couldn\u2019t breastfeed. \n\nShe brought him to a healthcare unit run by Save the Children where he was treated and has since improved. The doctor who treated her son, Dr Muhammad Hanif, says that the percentage of children arriving at his clinic with malnutrition has increased from 20 per cent to 60 per cent. \n\n\u201cAll the produce that people had from their fields also drowned in the floods so people have absolutely nothing to eat.\u201d \n\nWhat can be done to help people in Pakistan? \n\nAround 33 million people - 16 million of them children - are still in need of help. The UN\u2019s Pakistan Floods Response Plan is just 36 per cent funded more than halfway through its nine-month duration. \n\nSave the Children is calling on the international community to step up and deliver the money needed to prevent a full-scale hunger crisis. \n\n\u201cWhen will the world listen to these children?\u201d Gondal says. \n\n\u201cWe welcome the fact that some steps have been taken - but children in Pakistan need more, not only to rebuild from this catastrophe but also to know that in future, when they will inevitably bear the brunt of yet more climate disasters, the world will not look away.\u201d \n\nThe charity is also calling for progress on an agreement made at last year\u2019s COP27 climate summit to establish a Loss and Damage fund . Save the Children says that funds need to be clearly earmarked for climate disasters like the flooding in Pakistan as well as slow onset events like rising sea levels.\u00a0","htmlText":"<p>Six months after widespread flooding submerged a third of Pakistan, people are still struggling to survive.<\/p>\n<p>Inflation has sent the <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//tag//food-crisis/">price of food skyrocketing<\/strong><\/a> and families, especially, are being forced to cut back on their meals.

There was no immediate word from the World Bank on the new figure. \n\nHow deadly and damaging were the Pakistan floods? \n\nThe flooding, which experts say is made worse by climate change , has killed 1,719 people and affected 33 million since mid-June. The waters have damaged or washed away 2 million homes. \n\nSharif's government last month offered an estimate of $30 billion (\u20ac30.6 bn) from the floods but cautioned that the real figure may be far higher. A final report on the damages is yet to be finalised with the help of international aid agencies and lending institutions, including the World Bank. \n\nThe United Nations has revised its appeal for aid for Pakistan five-fold, to $816 million (\u20ac831.6 mn), from the initial $160 million (\u20ac163 mn), saying recent assessments about the damages caused by floods pointed to the urgent need for long-term help, lasting into next year. \n\nA government statement following Wednesday's meeting between the premier and the newly formed Pakistan Climate Change Council quoted an often-repeated statement by Sharif that despite having less than one per cent share in global carbon emissions, Pakistan is among 10 countries most affected by climate change. \n\nUN: More funds are urgently needed for Pakistan's recovery \n\nSharif also said that he hopes that COP27 in Egypt next month - for which the Pakistani prime minister was recently nominated as vice-chairman - will offer Pakistan \u201can opportunity to present its stance on the vulnerability of the developing world with regard to the effects of climate change.\" \n\nAccording to government officials, more than half of the flood victims in Pakistan\u2019s worst-hit Sindh province have returned to their homes over the past three weeks after floodwaters receded there and elsewhere in the country, including Baluchistan, where the UN estimates that floods damaged 43 per cent of crops . \n\nThe flood-related fatalities have included 345 women and 641 children. The UN says seven million women and children require immediate access to food. \n\nPakistan wants the world community to scale up aid for flood survivors, now also threatened by waterborne diseases , malaria and dengue fever. Experts say people in flood-hit areas will face a harsh winter this year and that aid is urgently needed.","htmlText":"<p>Pakistan\u2019s record-breaking floods this summer have caused more than \u20ac40 billion in damages, according to a World Bank estimate relayed by the country today.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s $10 billion (\u20ac10bn) more than an earlier estimate by the Pakistani government.<\/p>\n<p>The cash-strapped South Asian nation was already facing a serious financial crisis before the <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//08//30//in-pictures-historic-pakistan-floods-leave-thousands-homeless-and-almost-100-billion-of-da/">heavy monsoon rains<\/strong><\/a> hit in mid-June.<\/p>\n<p>The rains triggered unprecedented floods that at one point left a third of the country&#039;s territory <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//09//07//pakistan-floods-parts-of-the-country-now-like-a-sea-says-prime-minister/">submerged, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to move to safer places.<\/p>\n<p>The new assessment came during a meeting in the capital, Islamabad, between Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and experts on <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//10//12//flood-heatwaves-fire-7-in-10-british-travellers-have-eyes-opened-to-climate-change-while-a/">climate change.<\/strong><\/a> There was no immediate word from the World Bank on the new figure.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7021280,6844770\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//07//13//these-5-countries-alone-inflicted-nearly-6-trillion-in-climate-damage-on-the-rest-of-the-w/">These 5 countries alone inflicted nearly \u20ac6 trillion in climate damage on the rest of the world<\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//09//16//extreme-hunger-has-more-than-doubled-in-the-worlds-worst-climate-hotspots-says-oxfam/">Extreme hunger has more than doubled in the world\u2019s worst climate hotspots, says Oxfam<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>How deadly and damaging were the Pakistan floods?<\/h2><div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-ease-in-up widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6666666666666666\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//07//13//07//20//808x539_cmsv2_28eafc59-efca-5d4f-b8b6-4ca8f949eba3-7130720.jpg/" alt=\"Zahid Hussain&#47;AP\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/13\/07\/20\/384x256_cmsv2_28eafc59-efca-5d4f-b8b6-4ca8f949eba3-7130720.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/13\/07\/20\/640x427_cmsv2_28eafc59-efca-5d4f-b8b6-4ca8f949eba3-7130720.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/13\/07\/20\/750x500_cmsv2_28eafc59-efca-5d4f-b8b6-4ca8f949eba3-7130720.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/13\/07\/20\/828x552_cmsv2_28eafc59-efca-5d4f-b8b6-4ca8f949eba3-7130720.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/13\/07\/20\/1080x720_cmsv2_28eafc59-efca-5d4f-b8b6-4ca8f949eba3-7130720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/13\/07\/20\/1200x800_cmsv2_28eafc59-efca-5d4f-b8b6-4ca8f949eba3-7130720.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/13\/07\/20\/1920x1280_cmsv2_28eafc59-efca-5d4f-b8b6-4ca8f949eba3-7130720.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Homes were surrounded by floodwaters in Sohbat Pur city, a district of Pakistan&apos;s southwestern Baluchistan province, August 2022.<\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Zahid Hussain&#47;AP<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The flooding, which experts say is made worse by <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//07//29//is-climate-change-causing-the-heatwave-heres-the-simple-science-behind-europes-scorching-w#:~:text=According%20to%20a%20recent%20expert,strike%20five%20times%20more%20often.\"><strong>climate change<\/strong><\/a>, has killed 1,719 people and affected 33 million since mid-June.

He said France has also sent a team of doctors and experts. \n\nAbnormally high levels of rain this monsoon season battered much of the Baluchistan and Sindh provinces as well as parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and the Gilgit-Baltistan territory.\u00a0 \n\n\nThe torrential rains and ensuing flash floods caused massive damage to infrastructure, roads, electricity and communications networks. \n\nMinisters have said the government is working to bring normalcy back to the country as soon as possible but that the Pakistani government cannot do it alone. \n\nMilitary spokesman Iftikhar Babar said rescuers, supported by the military, were continuing rescue and relief operations. He said army aviation, air force and navy troops were using boats and helicopters to evacuate people from remote regions and to deliver aid. \n\nBabar said the army has established 147 relief camps sheltering and feeding more than 50,000 displaced people, while 250 medical camps have provided help to 83,000 people so far. \n\nHealth officials have expressed concern about the spread of waterborne diseases among the homeless people living in relief camps and in tents alongside roads. \n\nAkhtar Nawaz, head of the disaster management authority, said parts of Pakistan that were expected to receive 15% to 20% additional rain this year actually received in excess of 400% more.\u00a0 \n\nThe country has seen 190% more rain this monsoon season. \n\nUN agencies are stepping up their support of Pakistan's relief efforts. The floods are the deadliest in over a decade and more heavy rains are forecast. \n\nThe expanded assistance provided by the World Food Programme (WFP) and its humanitarian partners to flood-affected families will include food relief, malnutrition prevention and livelihood support.\u00a0 \n\nIn the last week of August, the WFP distributed food baskets to flood-affected families in Killa Bato, Nushki in the province of Balochistan.\u00a0 \n\nA total of 400 households (2,600 people) were provided with food baskets containing a bag of 44KG of wheat flour, 4.5 KG of yellow split peas and a packet of 200 grams of salt. \n\nAccording to the UN's children's fund, more than three million children are in need of humanitarian assistance. \n\nUNICEF says it is working with the government and non-government partners to respond to the urgent needs of children and families in affected areas.","htmlText":"<p>Pakistan appealed for an \"immense humanitarian response\" from the international community on Saturday, after devastating flooding which has affected 33 million people and left more than a thousand dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan&#039;s Federal Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal said the number of fatalities and people facing homelessness was continuing to rise due to the floods, triggered by abnormal monsoon rains.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to initial government estimates, the rain and flooding have caused \u20ac10 billion in damages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scale of devastation is massive and requires an immense humanitarian response for 33 million people.
