Islamabad, Pakistan – As Pakistan reels from one of the worst flooding to have hit the country in decades, where more than 1,000 people have been killed and more than two million displaced, Pakistan’s climate change minister has slammed the “crisis of justice” facing his country.
The United Nations said more than six million people in all have been affected after local officials said cloudbursts and a heavier-than-usual monsoon caused landslides and massive flooding since June 26. More than 12,500 houses have been damaged and 6,500 livestock lost in addition to the widespread destruction of crops across the country, according to the National Disaster Management Authority.
