#Pakistan has declared a national #emergency as massive #floods continue to devastate the country, displacing 33 million people and bringing the death toll to over 1,000 since June. We speak with Shah Meer Baloch, Islamabad-based reporter for The Guardian, who describes how the floods have swept away homes, roads and bridges in what Baloch and Pakistan’s top climate official have called a serious “climate catastrophe.” We also speak with Asad Rehman, executive director of War on Want, who says Pakistan and other poor countries are “stuck in a toxic interplay between a climate catastrophe that they are not responsible for, increasing hunger, structural inequality and a rigged economic system.” He calls on rich countries to reach zero net emissions by 2030 instead of pursuing geoengineering schemes like carbon capture and storage — a tactic that is funded in President Biden’s new Inflation Reduction Act.

Millions of Pakistanis affected by the worst floods in a decade are in desperate need of aid as authorities are overwhelmed by scale of disaster
It really hard to grasp the magnitude of this catastrophe. Half the HUGE country of Pakistan is under water. It is like all the Scandinavia and Baltic countries combined.
It is just horrifying to watch!

This is not finished, the #catastrophe is ongoing and expanding. The number of displaced citizens is now estimated to be close to 50 millions and keep rising.
