Pakistan is currently going through the eighth monsoon cycle, as opposed to the nation’s usual three to four rain cycles. It’s shocking how frequently monster flood torrents occur. Catastrophic flash floods in Pakistan have damaged roads, homes, and crops, killing many people in the process. Due to the lack of dry land and the existence of only one major ocean, the situation is described as one of “unthinkable proportions.” The summer’s massive rains-the highest in ten years-were attributed by government officials to climate change. Pakistan is currently completely submerged, which is more than anyone had anticipated. Tens of thousands of people forced to evacuate their homes in recent weeks due to flooding are the result of both human error and natural disasters. Geographically, the country is sinking by more than half. Flooding has wiped out millions of acres of standing livestock and crops. The volume of traffic has decreased on every major interstate. Millions of those impacted are compelled to live outdoors in stifling heat during the day and swarms of mosquitoes at night. They are starving and in need of assistance. Approximately one in seven Pakistanis, or over 33 million people, are estimated to have been affected by the devastating floods. The severe flooding in the Swat Valley in the north of the country has swept away roads and bridges and shut off entire settlements. Thousands of residents of the steep area have been forced to escape, but despite deploying helicopters, authorities are still having problems reaching the trapped people. Infrastructural damage from flash floods is serious. When the transportation and telecommunications infrastructure is disrupted, it is harder to expand relief efforts and provide emergency medical care. Water and electrical service interruptions are also common. Annual floods in Pakistan are getting more frequent, but the government is either caught off guard every time or seen as ineffective. The World Resources Institute lists Pakistan as one of the top 15 nations most in danger from river floods; climate change is predicted to increase the number of flood-prone locations. In Pakistan, floods have an annual impact on about 715,000 people, and by 2030, that figure is projected to reach 2.7 million. The first step towards mitigating the difficulty is realizing it. It should be acknowledged that flooding occurs frequently in Pakistan and has a significant ecological and socioeconomic significance. However, because of both natural and man-made forces, it is getting stronger. We should therefore have the ability to respond to the shifting characteristics of riverine flooding. Pakistan is one of the most susceptible nations in the world due to the changing climate, yet regrettably, the environment and human error. Floods cause property, livestock, and crop harvest losses, which have a negative economic impact. Many families are impacted by homelessness. Also impacted is the GDP of the country. The World Resources Institute estimates that Pakistan’s yearly GDP will be lost due to inland floods by 1%. The government’s financial burden is exacerbated by operations for disaster management and conducting rescues. In addition, substantial financial investments are required to restore or build new flood prevention infrastructure. People have been perpetually paralyzed with anxiety at the possibility of the already-damaged houses collapsing. The rain continued all night, soaking people. They never stop worrying that if the wind blows a little harder or if it rains a little longer, we might be buried under this ruin of a house. There is no government administration. The families are forced to survive in these conditions with little to no assistance from the government and are starving as a result of losing their homes and means of support. Because of the damaged roads and lack of network access, the area is off-limits. Annual floods in Pakistan are getting more frequent, but the government is either caught off guard each time or is seen as ineffective. Pakistan must make a strong case for why it should be granted access to the Climate Adaptation Fund and other climate money to pay for its losses and damages, as well as the costs associated with any subsequent migration brought on by the climate, and the rebuilding and resettlement of the displaced. We should learn from the past and make strategies for the future because there is no way to stop upcoming disasters. We urgently need to rescue and rehabilitate those who have been affected, using our resources and the support of the international community. The nation must connect its catastrophe risk management policies with international norms and regional requirements. Pakistan must prioritize building higher structures, resilient roadways, and rail infrastructure in the medium and long term to survive flash floods and offer a haven to the displaced. Enhancing early warning systems and developing inclusive evacuation plans, it must equip communities to handle emergency circumstances.
