The number of people dead because of robust rain floods and landslides in Pakistan and the region of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan continues to increase rapidly. The teams that handle disaster response declare that 307 individuals die in various regions of the country.
Floods and landslides swept away places to the top of the mountain with the highest number of deaths occurring in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The rescue mission was put on hold after a helicopter accident killed 5 crew members. It has lost so much, broken so much and left many people very sad, as more and more places are declared disaster zones by the leaders.
Raised Deaths in Provinces.
The largest number of victims was reported in the north-western province of Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhaw) that is mountainous. The authorities determined that the floods and land slides affected 74 houses. This disaster was heightened by a rescue helicopter that was flying to Bajaur, with the intention of carrying out relief operation crashing because of bad weather. Five members of the military crew were killed in the accident.
it is even worse–nine others were killed in Kashmir, which is under the rule of Pakistan. Neither did Gilgit-Baltistan; five individuals were murdered at the mercy of the rainy season. The monsoon has been hell, all right, and it simply kills everything it touches. And the officials? They are scrambling to help but do they have all those faraway villages, then it is the whack a mole with calamities.
Places Fighting to Live
The weather people had informed all that it would be a lot of rain until the 21 st of August, but mostly at the north west. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa now has many places that are termed as disaster zones. The survivors of it said that the destruction seemed to be the end of the world. A man by the name Azizullah in Buner told the very scary story.
So he said there was this mad noise–as though you should imagine a mountain tearing itself in pieces. He ran out, he must have been in his slippers or something, and all was trembling like a doomsday film. Earnestly, earth was shaking,
water breaking in, and he simply stood there with death glaring at him. The way he talked about it? Raw terror, the stuff that saps the hope out of you. And who, I tell you, can be blamed, but himself? Majority of the people who survived are equally freaked out.
Help and Loss in Bajaur
that crash was brutal. The military team had five members, who had disappeared, right before their eyes.The helicopter had been heading towards Bajaur, a locality close to the border of Afghanistan. Five army people died as a result of the fall and the efforts that were underway there were cut short.
Bajaur rescue teams were ploughing through wet slopes in heavy equipment; everything was covered in mud, and all was chaos. The crowds of people were thronging there, and any hope of any sign of their lost family members. There was not a field of any sort, even a long distance away, that was turned into a temporary grave– blankets over the dead, prayers in the air, and once more all was just stamped out by the feeling of loss.
The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhaw wanted a day of mourning–no more than they could do justice to the object of it, in reality–and the relatives were driven about the burial of their dead, among all that waste and desolation of the heart.
Kashmir Flooding In Kashmir that is under Indian administration.
the water-gaming in Kashmir has been bloody. Friday was a nightmare–teams of rescuers in muck and broken houses, simply trying to see whether anybody survived. Six0 gone, and frankly, this figure may increase. Entire families gone, houses swept away as though they never existed. It’s chaos. The sort of thing you read in the headlines and never wish to see on your door is what happens.
Two large sad events in Kashmir demonstrate how wretched this yearly rain was. A great number of them are now without family, entire towns are under mud. Help attempts to put on, but it is quite unsafe.
Impact of monsoon season in Pakistan.
Ok, now the thing about the monsoon season in Pakistan is that it is practically a crazy ride every year but this time they have taken a very wrong turn. Between June and September everything in the air simply pours buckets–three-quarters of the rain of the country is put in one day.
You would normally anticipate some landslides, a little flooding here and there but this year? Absolute chaos. We have more than 300 already dead of floods and landslides. It’s brutal. And frankly, it does not even appear to be slowing down at all.
In Punjab region where Pakistan population is almost half, rainfall increased by 73 percent. This increase caused in July alone more deaths than in the whole of the last year monsoon time. This has caused concern among leaders and experts. They explain that the bad events have been experienced more and more viciously by the changes in the climate.
Climatic Change and Future Threats.
According to many professionals, bad weather has become worse due to climate change. Rainfalls are more frequent and destructive. Locations in Pakistan and Kashmir handle bad occurrences every rainy season and the damage is increasing yearly.
The increasing number of the dead, the demolition of houses, the emigration of thousands of people testify to the fact that we require immediate assistance. Unless we learn to be more prepared in case of disasters and adapt to the changes in weather, the rains of tomorrow may continue to cause enormous damage.
Conclusion
This is one of the worst periods in the past few years because the number of people who have perished because of big floods and landslides in Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir have reached a high of 307. In the horrific situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhaw to the tragic situation in Kashmir and Punjab, lots of people are left in sad state of mind because they experience poor weather.
This monsoon season has been pure mean in Pakistan. A rescue chopper has been shot down, houses have been smashed to pieces, and people are simply plunder-stricken–the sort of scared that develops permanence. Scientists continue to raise the red flag on climate change to make things worse but the truth is that,
