Displaced people wade through a flooded area following the deadly climate catastrophe in the Swat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan, on Aug. 29, 2022. More than 1,150 people have been killed in the floods.
Rehman said that the country has suffered eight weeks of unrelenting rainfall. More than 1,150 people have been killed since mid-June due to the flooding, The Associated Press reported. Abid Qaiyum Suleri, executive director of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute and a member of Pakistan’s Climate Change Council said that this summer, the country has received the highest rainfall in three decades."So far this year the rain is running at more than 780% above average levels," Sureli explained.
“The situation is likely to deteriorate even further as heavy rains continue over areas already inundated by more than two months of storms and flooding," said Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Tuesday. "For us, this is no less than a national emergency.”
