Happening now: Activists from @AsianPeoplesMvt in Manila gathered to show #SolidaritywithPakistan people who are bearing the brunt of debt, humanitarian, and climate crises. Intense rainfall and floods left 33 million in dire need of urgent relief and protection. #CanceltheDebt Before the floods, public debt was already unsustainable: $242Bn in 2021, $7 billion more than 2020. $5Bn paid to foreign lenders in Jul-Dec 2021 alone. Continued debt service will divert funds for emergency relief and climate resilience. #CanceltheDebt #SolidaritywithPakistan
