One third of Pakistan is currently under water. Devastating flooding is wreaking havoc on the country's poorest, with over 33 million people affected, and over 1000 deaths recorded. The poorest are also loosing the little they have - over 800'000 livestock have been lost, and over 2 million hectares of crop land are destroyed.
Why is this happening? Pakistan has faced a "monsoon on steroids", as described by the UN SG Antonio Guterres, and the climate change minister Sherry Rehman has described it as a "climate-induced humanitarian disaster of epic proportions" (BBC).
