One-Third of Pakistan is Underwater (September 22, 2022)
Pakistan is suffering a humanitarian crisis - one that is largely being ignored by the mainstream media. Originally, one-third of country was underwater. Today, around 40,000 square miles is still submerged. This is about the size of the state of Virginia. More than 1,500 people have died - nearly half of those were children. Nearly 33 million people have been displaced - most of whom have received no assistance. Hundreds of villages are submerged while others have been turned into islands. Crops have washed away - placing the country in a food crisis. In fact, 65% of the country’s main food crops were wiped out. Nearly half of Pakistan’s agricultural land has been decimated. This is particularly troubling, because before the flood less than half of Pakistan’s land was even suitable for crops. Seventy percent of the country's rice is gone. Nearly 3 million livestock have died. Many farmers believe their land will be useless for at least the next 3 months. These food shortages are exacerbating an already fragile economy. Prior to the flood food inflation was 26%. Now, shortages have caused some foods to surge by up to 500%.
