More than 1,700 people have lost their lives due to the monsoon floods which began in June last year.

Overall, statistics indicate that 33 million people were affected by the floods, 2 million had their homes damaged, and about a million livestock perished due to the climate catastrophe. 

Some NGOs have accused the government of conducting illegal drilling operations to intentionally flood residential areas in order to collect more funds. 

Floods in Pakistan is NOT a climate driven catastrophe, its deliberately created suffering by freeloader Pakistan onto enslaved civilians of Sindh & Balochistan ONLY to get more free money.

The capital, Islamabad, will allocate half of this amount from its own resources, despite it already being in deep economic crisis.
