…of the challenge, consider:
Burying the dead requires finding dry ground. In some cases people have to go many miles to find such ground.
Heart-rending situation wrt to vulnerable people, esp pregnant women.

Priorities for Support to Flood Victims
1. Food above all is the need of the hour. Cooked food is needed but is complicated because of perishability.
2. Clean drinking water
3. Medicine - Al Khidmat is setting up 150 medical camps
4. Housing - maybe the hardest.

🧵I feel like a bloody broken record - #Pakistanflood is climate apartheid we have warned about for decades – the rich use their wealth to seek safety and leave the poor in the South to burn/drown. 1/3 of Pakistan under water, 1000+ lives lost, homes, schools, hospitals & gone.
It's a toxic interplay between climate, hunger, structural inequality & a rigged global economic system that has left the poor hanging by a thread and states overwhelmed so the wealthy can continue to profit. Its not new record breaking heatwaves and floods are the new reality
How do people recover from a never-ending crisis in a country where many are already barely surviving- 70% of Pakistan popln don’t have access to proper nutrition, 1 in 3 of the population is in extreme poverty. When the poor say they have lost everything they mean everything
