Pakistan half the nation under water, over 1,300 deaths
 
1st story on Ch4HDnews.

8 monsoons is far too much

State of Emergency
Report from Ch4HDnews said the new Government
is having trouble dealing with it.


BBC:
[Pakistan floods: Desperation and displacement
in Sindh province]

[The Prime Minister of Pakistan
has said the "magnitude of the calamity"
is bigger than expected,
after visiting flood-hit areas.
Shehbaz Sharif was speaking
from Sindh province - which has had
nearly eight times its average August rainfall.
The floods have killed 1,000 people
across Pakistan since June,
while thousands have been
displaced - and millions more affected.]

They are saying this is climate change
at its worse.

Pakistan Leader Shehbaz Sharif
has failed in not being ready for this.

More are dying
as they have been left with no food or clean water
many homes washed away.

At least everyone and staff had left by then.

lets hope the hand-wringing UK woke "charities" dont start wasting millions on begging adverts..

Pakistan Space Center
The project was approved by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ENCEC) in November 2018 with a total approved cost of Rs. 29.502 billion, including a foreign aid of Rs. 18.32 billion.

any aid money would go to the corrupt government not the population in need

When do the news outlets think the bad weather will stop?

Allah really doesn’t seem to like his followers. Very puzzling.
