One third of Pakistan is under water following heavy rainfall

Historic floods in Pakistan have left 75 people dead over the past 24 hours, with the death toll expected to rise.

Pakistan’s climate minister, Sherry Rehman, describes the scene as “one big ocean…There’s no dry land to pump water out.”

Rehman says it’s a “crisis of unimaginable proportions” that has never been seen before, with up to 500,000 people displaced.

The dangerous floods have damaged homes, crops and roads. This has impacted the countries food resources and the ability for planes to arrive and depart.

The Government says the record rainfall has been fuelled by worsening climate change and will appeal to the United Nations for urgent help.
