Unprecedented extreme weather in Pakistan is taking its toll on citizens, with a third of the country underwater.
Pakistan is warning that more flooding could hit the area around the southern Lake Manchar, which continues to swell from monsoon rains that have ravaged the country since June.
Flood-ravaged Pakistan has appealed to the international community for an “immense humanitarian response” to help the South Asian nation in its “hour of need” as the death toll surpassed 1,265 people from the current disaster.
The "monster" monsoon has affected 1 in 7 people, and follows the previous “climate blow” of deadly heatwaves earlier this year.
"Right now, one-third of Pakistan is underwater and 33 million are affected. This is a huge humanitarian disaster and I would call it quite apocalyptic."
