One-third of Pakistan underwater as 33 million people flooded

Nearly half a million people have crowded into camps after losing their homes in widespread flooding in Pakistan - with one-third of country underwater. Officials estimate that the flooding has affected more than 33 million people - one in seven of the population.

Pakistan's climate minister warned that Pakistan is on the “front line” of the world’s climate crisis after unprecedented monsoon rains arrived in mid-June, killing more than 1,136 people.

The rains stopped more than two days ago and floods in some areas have been receding. But Pakistanis in many parts of the country are still wading through waters that filled their homes or covered their town’s streets.
