In the affected areas of Pakistan, where more than 1,100 people have died due to floods caused by heavy rains, there is still a shortage of food and medicine, and there is a risk of infectious diseases spreading due to the deterioration of the sanitary environment. I am calling for your support again.
In Pakistan, since mid-June this year, heavy rains that greatly exceed the annual rainfall have continued to occur in various places, causing floods, and local disaster prevention authorities have confirmed the deaths of 1,191 people so far.
Local roads and railways have been disrupted by floods, and food and medical supplies are still in short supply.
Under these circumstances, Minister of Climate Change Rehman held a press conference on the 31st, saying, "In the affected areas, mosquitoes are everywhere, and water-borne diseases are also a concern. Many people may get sick. ', He again called for support from the international community, saying that infectious diseases such as cholera and malaria could spread due to the deterioration of the sanitary environment.
He said that the heavy rains this time were due to the effects of climate change, and said, "Although there is almost no cause for global warming in Pakistan, it is suffering. Countries that emit a lot of carbon dioxide are responsible. We should have it," he said, warning of the problem of global warming.
