According to UNICEF, more than 4 million children in Pakistan are still living near contaminated and stagnant flood water. It has been more than four months since the national emergency was declared over the threat to existence and well-being. Dawn reported in Pakistan.
Many families in Jacobabad have little more than mere clothes to cover their makeshift shelters from the stagnant flood waters, while the temperature dropped to seven degrees Celsius at night. UNICEF and partners have started providing children's kits and jackets, among other items, to people living in mountainous areas, reports Dawn. UNICEF aims to reach 200,000 children, women, and men.
