Pakistan’s climate change minister has slammed the “crisis of injustice” facing the country and a “lopsided allocation” of funding as heavy rains and the latest flash flooding cause more damage, destruction and loss of life.

Officials in Pakistan said at least 32 people have been killed in the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces since the start of the monsoon season.
