“Families divided”
Families in Pakistan have been split up by the extraordinary flooding, which has also caused distressing relocating due to climate change.
Following a new wave of flooding, thousands of terrified residents fled the densely populated Dadu area, adding to the rising number of displaced persons.
In addition to causing a staggering loss of Rs350 billion ($1.5 billion) to agriculture and another Rs50 billion ($221 million) to animals, the recent downpours, which were 500% above average, and significant flooding have rendered 125 million people homeless in Sindh alone.
