The floods in Pakistan have left many stories of devastation. Homes, roads, schools, and hospitals have been destroyed. According to one estimate, 30 million people and a third of the country's population was sacrificed in the floods. Now the biggest threat is looming hunger. Most of the wheat crop has been destroyed. Farmers have neither seeds nor fertilizers to grow new crops. Even if they are available, there is no money to buy them. Their animals have also been killed in the flood.
about one and a half thousand people died
According to media reports, about one and a half thousand people died due to the flood. The country struggled with heavy rains for almost two months. During this, not even the big hotels of Sidh and Balochistan survived. Millions of people have become homeless, they have no food and no roof to cover their heads. These families are living in the tents they have got as help from the world. The government of Pakistan is citing climate change as the reason for the floods.
The danger also increases because the Meteorological Department is saying that there may be heavy rains again in the coming weeks. If this apprehension turns out to be true, the situation could go from bad to worse.
$10 billion loss
The Shahbaz Sharif government of Pakistan has not yet been able to decide how much damage has been done. Shahbaz had said a few days ago that there was a loss of 10 billion dollars. His planning minister also told the same figure. At the same time, some media reports say that the figure for damage cannot be decided yet, as many parts are still submerged in water.
The situation is also dangerous for Pakistan because it was on the verge of bankruptcy. The IMF also gave a loan of barely 1.5 billion dollars. Inflation has crossed 18%. Apart from this, the political upheaval is making the situation worse. Imran Khan is also doing rallies in this era.
Wheat, cotton, and rice crops destroyed
Wheat, cotton ie cotton, and rice are grown in good numbers in Pakistan. These crops have been destroyed due to floods. Officials say that even half the production of cotton cannot be done. This will have an impact on the readymade garment sector. This will result in negligible exports. In America and China too, this time the cotton crop has been damaged due to heat.
The threat of starvation has arisen due to the destruction of wheat and rice crops. Pakistan was already importing these things, now what it will do in the pauper, has to be seen. Rathi Balakrishnan, director of the World Food Program in the country, says – the situation is really bad. Leave it to eat, now farmers do not even have seeds.
Government relying on the help of the world
The UN has given some help to Pakistan. With the help of 16 million dollars, there is an effort to provide food to 52 lakh people. Protests against hunger and inflation have started on the streets.
According to the UN, 1300 people died in Pakistan due to floods. More than half of these are women and children. 6 thousand are injured. 3 crore 30 lakh people have become homeless. There is a flood effect in one lakh square miles. This is more than the total area of Britain. Sindh province is the worst affected. Here it rained the most in 30 years. One concern of the farmers is to repay the loans of the banks. Until you repay the old loan, you will not get the new one. UN Secretary-General himself reached Pakistan on the call of Prime Minister Shahbaz and took stock of the situation.
