First, Pakistan has been experiencing heavy rainfall since mid-June. Originally, there were 3-4 rounds every year, but I didn't expect it to be much more this time, which doubled directly compared with previous years. After calculation, it is found that the rainfall alone has more than tripled compared with the same period. It is estimated that the number of people affected by the disaster has exceeded 30 million. They are homeless and their lives may be threatened at any time. The death toll exceeds 1000, and the number of injured is still increasing. As bridges and roads were destroyed by floods, it was difficult to transport relief materials and vehicles into the disaster area, which added frost to the rescue work bureau.
Secondly, because of the flood, drinking water in many places is threatened, and thousands of people are infected with cholera, which is actually a problem that is easy to appear after the flood. The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and many countries have provided them with financial assistance. China delivered waterproof and disaster relief materials as soon as it learned the situation, and plans to continue to increase them to ensure that they can tide over the difficulties smoothly.
Finally, food security has not been seriously affected, but cotton and dates have been seriously damaged. You know, this is one of the main sources of local economy, because wheat has been harvested before summer, and a new round of sowing will not start until the end of September and the beginning of June, so you don't have to worry too much about food safety. However, the output of cotton has decreased by 30% compared with previous years, and animal husbandry has also suffered heavy losses. Therefore, it can be expected that this flood will have a great impact on Pakistan's agricultural production in the next few years.
