Pakistan is still recovering from last year's floods and is bracing for more flooding this year.
File: Sept. 2022: Flooding in Dadu district, Sindh province, one of the worst hit parts of Pakistan where nearly a third of the country is underwater and more than 33 million people have been affected. International aid groups are urging Pakistanis to adapt to what may now be their new normal."We've got to get out of reactive mode and into proactive mode," said David Miliband, President of the International Rescue Committee .
Miliband also said that giving people cash up front — before weather disaster strikes — can help protect people who live in areas vulnerable to extreme conditions. This kind of anticipatory cash relief is better than payments that come after the damage is done, he argued, because it enables people who know what their communities need to better prepare and insulate themselves against the next climate emergency.
Clean drinking water is also in short supply. More than 10 million people in flood-affected areas still lack access to safe drinking water, according to UNICEF. "Indicators for malnutrition and cases of malnutrition among children are very worrying. So this is of immediate concern right now," Catherine Weibel, director of the United Nations Information Centre in Islamabad, told CBS News.
