The floods and other thousands have died

Pakistan is facing "national safety disaster"

According to data released by the Pakistan National Disaster Administration on the 29th, 150 people in Pakistan have been killed in the past 24 hours. Since mid -June, the heavy rainfall caused by monsoon and a series of disasters have caused 1136 people in Pakistan, and 1634 were injured. Another 3471 kilometers of roads and 162 bridges were damaged, and more than 1 million houses collapsed or destroyed.

On the 29th local time, Pakistani Prime Minister Charpz Sheriff said in the northern part of Pakistan that the large -scale floods caused by monsoon rainfall in Pakistan this year have not had ever been in the past 30 years.

On the same day, Pakistan's plan Minister Ahssan Ikbal told the media that 45%of cotton cotton, as the country's main crops, was washed away by floods, and other crops such as fruits, vegetables and rice were also suffered huge losses. Ikbar said the economic loss caused by the flood to Pakistan may exceed US $ 10 billion (about 69.1 billion yuan).

On the 29th, the Pakistani climate change minister Xie Lili Rachman said in an interview with the media that due to climate change, the scale of heavy rainfall and flood brought about by the wind and rain season this year was great, and Pakistan was seriously affected by the country. The continuous rainfall continues, which brings great difficulties to rescue. Rahman said that Pakistan was facing a "national safety disaster."

At present, one -third of Pakistan has been flooded, and 33 million people are affected by the flood, accounting for about 15%of the country's population. It is difficult for helicopters to find dry land in Baluchi Province in the south to put on rescue materials.

According to foreign media reports, the Dahe Indian River, which flows through Pakistan's second densely populated area, has collapsed the embankment due to the rainfall record and the melting of the glacier. The weeks of Xinde Province ’s heavy rain led to flooded farmland, and tens of thousands of farmers along the line took the livestock to take refuge.

Near Ralcana, thousands of mud houses were flooded. In a slightly lower water level, thatched roof is exposed from underwater. In a local village, people lack food. In another village, many children suffer from water infectious diseases.

China is fully supporting

Pakistan fights against floods

On the 26th, Luo Zhaohui, the director of the National International Development Cooperation Department of China, met with the Pakistani ambassador to China Moin Hock, saying that Pakistan has recently suffered a rare flood for many years, causing major casualties and property losses, and China feels the same. China -Pakistan is a strategic partner of all -weather, and is a hard tradition of hardships and support for each other. I still remember that during the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the Baba brothers reached out for the first time, took out the last tent of the inventory to the Chinese disaster area, and said that even if they ate tree leaves, they would send disaster relief medical teams. I was serving as the Chinese ambassador to Pakistan at the time, and I experienced this history. The difficulty of Pakistan is our difficulties. China is fully supporting Pakistan to fight the flood.

On the 29th, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs presided over a regular press conference that I saw a lot of videos about Pakistan's floods on TV, newspapers, and the Internet, which was very heartbroken and shocking.

Through the China -Pakistan Economic Corridor Social Livelihood Cooperation Framework, China provided 4,000 tents, 50,000 blankets, 50,000 waterproof tents and other reserve materials provided by Pakistani. In view of the further development of the disaster and based on the needs of Pakistan, China has decided to add a batch of humanitarian assistance including 25,000 tents and other Pakistani people in urgent need for materials. The Chinese Red Cross will also provide US $ 300,000 emergency assistance to the Pakistan Red Crescent. The Quanba Chinese Enterprise Association donated 15 million rupees to the Prime Minister of Pakistan Flood Relief Fund.
