Pakistan pleads for international help as parts of country 'resemble a small ocean'
Pakistan competed to prevent the loss of lives further because of the rolls of one of the worst climate disasters with flood water that threatened to cover one third of the country 220 million at the end of the rainy season.
Climate Change Minister Sherry Rehman said that unprecedented rainy Sunday had created a “climate disaster” with houses that submerged floods, destroyed agricultural land and displaced millions of people.
We have to use the Navy for the first time to operate in Indo-Pakistan, because many of that resemble a small ocean,” he told German announcer Deutsche Welle.
On Monday, the death toll reached 1,061 since mid-June, according to the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA), when the rain that unceasingly aroused concerns about more deaths to come.
At this time it ends, we can have a quarter or third of Pakistan under water,” Rehman told Turkish News Outlets TRT World on Thursday.
On Monday, a new satellite picture from Maxar Technologies shows a disaster scale -houses and fields that are truly drowning along the Indus River, as well as Rajanpur and Rojhan cities in Punjab, Pakistani’s most populous province.
The video released by the Pakistani Army shows that the troops made a dangerous rescue by helicopters of people who were stranded in flood water -including a boy who was trapped on rocks in the middle of a raging river in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northstor.
Fast flash floods have destroyed more than 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) from the road, 130 bridges and 495,000 houses have been damaged, according to NDMA’s latest situation reports, making access to flood areas more difficult.
I have not seen the destruction or destruction of this scale,” said Butto-Zardari. “I find it very difficult to say the phrasiology that we usually do, whether it is monsoon or flooding, it does not seem to summarize the ongoing destruction and disaster that we are still watching.”

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif joined in aid efforts during the weekend, delivering supplies from helicopters in areas that were difficult to reach by boat or land, according to videos from his office.
Visiting the area affected by the flood and meeting people. The amount of disaster is greater than estimates,” Sharif said in a tweet on Saturday. “Time demands that we gather as a nation in supporting our people who face this disaster. Let’s ride on our differences and stand near our people who need us today.”After meeting the ambassador and diplomat in Islamabad on Friday, he asked for help from the international community.Pakistan has struggled through the eighth cycle of monsoon rain, Rehman said Thursday, an anomaly in a country that usually saw three or four rainy periods per year.
Pakistan lives through one of the most serious climate disasters in the world,” Rehman said in a video statement.
We are at this point Ground Zero from the front lines of extreme weather events, which we have seen from the beginning of this year from the unrelenting heat wave cascade, forest fires, flash flood of Decade.
In his comment on Sunday, Butto-Zardari said Pakistan bears the burden of climate change because other countries with larger carbon footprints do not reduce their emissions.
Pakistan contributes to the amount that can be ignored to the entire carbon trail, but we are destroyed by climate disasters like this many times, and we must adapt to our limited resources,” he said.
