Army helping the affected people

Pakistan is a country that has faced a never-ending threats both internally as well as externally. Whether its economically or financially, terrorism or political crisis, sectarian violence or civil unrest; these are all the problems that Pakistan has faced during its 64 years of life. But each time Pakistanis have bravely fought against all odds and have shown the world that they are indeed a strong nation than any other country of the world. Despite these problems, there is also another problem that Pakistan faces every year. What is it? It’s the monsoon season, that kills more than 150 people every year. The double threat that Pakistan faces today is due to the recent extremely heavy rainfall in Sindh during the late monsoon and the heavy rainfall in Punjab that occurred during the early monsoon that give birth to the dengue outbreak in the province.

The Sindh Threat

Sindh is usually termed as breadbasket of the country, any major disaster in this part of Pakistan is usually considered a threat to the already fragile economy of Pakistan. Last year, the Sindh province was severely affected by the tsunami-like floods that originated from northern Pakistan and created havoc in the southern Pakistan. Unlike last year in which record-breaking monsoon rainfall in Khyber and Punjab province caused a large flood to move from northern Pakistan to Sindh, this year record-breaking monsoon rains have occurred in Sindh province. Following is the amount of rainfall recorded in Sindh this monsoon season from second week of August till second-week of September;

• Mithi got 1170 mm.
• Mirpur Khas got 676 mm.
  

  20% land of Pakistan was submerged due to the 2010 floods

• Nawabshah got 570.
• Chhor got 543 mm.
