Pakistan is facing a humanitarian catastrophe as monsoon floods have claimed over 1,100 lives since June, with survivors in hardest-hit regions begging for basic supplies. CGTN reporters on the ground describe entire villages cut off by landslides and raging waters in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province – where displaced families now sleep under open skies.
🌧️ 'We lost everything – our home, our crops,' said one resident in Charsadda district, clutching a salvaged cooking pot. 'We need tents, medicine, clean water… please tell the world.' Local officials report collapsed infrastructure has hampered rescue efforts, leaving many stranded without food or medical care.
