How to improve countries issue and country Pakistan facing flood

in Sindh - but there is no clean water.

KARACHI — Pakistani health officials are warning of a looming health crisis in the country after devastating recent floods.

Thirty-three million people have been affected by the flooding, which has left nearly 1,500 dead since the middle of June.

As rescue and evacuation efforts continue in parts of the country, health experts are reporting a surge in dengue, malaria and severe gastric infections.

Many displaced people are living near stagnant water. Dengue fever is already claiming lives and cases are increasing by the day.

About 3,830 cases of dengue fever have been reported by health officials in southern Sindh province, with at least nine deaths, but there are concerns this may be a conservative estimate.

"Overall the situation in Sindh is very bad, we are organizing medical camps all over the province. Most of the cases we are seeing now are of dengue patients followed closely by malaria," Dr Abdul Ghafoor Shoro, secretary general of the Pakistan Medical Association, told the BBC.

"The dengue burden is the same all over the province and it's increasing daily. When we checked with the laboratories, the suspected cases are around 80% of tests being done."

Dr Shoro, who has been treating scores of dengue patients at Agha Khan hospital in Karachi, fears the situation is only going to worsen in the coming weeks.

It's been more than two months since the floods began and yet across Pakistan, thousands of villages are still submerged, leaving countless families displaced.

With roads in many remote communities still unusable because of water damage, some communities are forced to rely on mobile vans for their health care, but those are few and far between.

Muna Sajjad has brought her one-year-old, Sakina, to a mobile clinic near Sehwan in Sindh province, hoping she will finally get medical care.

Sakina has been unwell for some days with a gastric infection. Her mother holds her tightly to her chest to try to settle her, but Sakina won't stop crying - she is dehydrated, vomiting and in pain.

"Two of my children are unwell, I don't have any money to care for them, I lost everything in the floods," says Muna. "If I had not made it to the clinic, I'm sure Sakina would have died. We have no food to even feed ourselves and our sick children."

Inside the packed van, there are sick children and adults everywhere and not enough hands to care for them. Doctors tell us they are overstretched. akistan is not responsible for this crisis, this was a product of climate change, this was caused by those that are populating the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. The G20, the biggest economies in the world, they represent 80% of the emissions, Pakistan less than 1%."

Officials now say it may take months before the water recedes in Sindh and life can resume. But many people here, like Muna, do not have that kind of time.

She and others whom I've met in the last few weeks have had their lives destroyed - and it is becoming painfully clear that there will be no quick remedies to help flood survivors.

It's a desperate place to be. People in Pakistan are hoping the world hears of their anguish - and that those with the power to help them rebuild their lives will do so soon. — BBC
