One year ago, Pakistan was hit with a “monster monsoon” season, which left about a third of the country underwater. Millions of people lost their homes to flooding and entire communities were devastated. These historic floods are yet another example of how extreme weather, driven by the climate crisis, is already having devastating impacts on people’s health.
In response, teams from Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provided vital aid for people whose lives have been affected by flooding in three hard-hit provinces—Balochistan, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Pakistan is among the countries most vulnerable to the devastating effects of the climate crisis. Initial scientific analysis shows that the intense flooding was likely exacerbated by climate change, and many experts warn that this catastrophic crisis is a wake-up call of the dangerous threat posed by the climate emergency.
In Pakistan and other countries affected by frequent flooding and extreme weather events, we’ve seen how climate change has exacerbated emergencies such as malnutrition and malaria. MSF is providing care for people bearing the brunt of the climate crisis's effect on public health.
This email was sent from the U.S. section of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), an international independent medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters, and exclusion from health care.
