Is the international community doing too little too late? | DW News

Spread The Viralist



Extreme weather continues to wreak havoc in Pakistan. This year’s monsoon has sparked a series of flash floods that began in June claiming over 200 lives so far. Thousands of homes are damaged, some swept away.
Is this the new normal for one of the world’s poorest and most populous nations? Pakistan emits very little greenhouse gases per capita, but bears the brunt of natural disasters driven by human-induced climate change.

  1. Pakistani gov asking for money they steal , and to fund extreme Islam, you can see why no outside government is in a hurry, and woman are not safe in there own camps ,what kind of place is this

  2. Pakistan govt spending 40 crore local currency to showcase their FLAG in POK during their creation day on 14 AUG 23. These so called journalist don't talk about how country's radicalization through poor education and How their own rich elite doing nothing to less for their people. Pakistan Govt only want Funds from IMF /UN and other Rich country as per they saying. These journalists are missing the point here , The natural havoc happens all over the world, however Pakistan people consider themselves Special country (THEY HAVE JAZBA )due to their incorrect religious studies . Since childhood, they been taught to hate . First the country itself have to stand up and help themselves and then expect help from others. The country not being able to built a decent DAM due to their corrupt politicians and incompetent ARMY. ALL PAKISTAN PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AND STAND AGAINST THEIR CORRUPT GOVT AND ARMY ,UNFORTUNATELY THEY CANNOT DO THAT BECAUSE PAKISTAN IS ONLY CARE ABOUT 38% LAHOORII PUNJABI PEOPLE ( WHO LIKE TO EAT HALWA POORI AND SLEEP AND WATCH BOLLYWOOD MOVIES ) AND THE REST OF COUNTRY ETHNICS GROUPS LIKE SINDHIS,Pashtuns,Saraikis,Muhajirs,Balochs INCLUDING 2 %HINDUS ARE STRUGGLING WITH FLOODS AND OTHER ATROCITIES .

  3. Pakistani people is suffering so much and yet they refuse to open trade with India.
    Food inflation can be be drastically reduced if Pakistan opens its land borders with India and start buying food items from India which cost way less than importing from other countries.
    Now u know the priority of Pakistan's ruling elites.
    Money given by intl community will not be used for benefits of people of Pakistan.
    For Paks military and politicans Climate Finance will be just another tool to get richer .

  4. Its very bad situation and everyone sympathise with poor villagers. However if you see leaders of pakistan you don't see concerns
    They are busy with islamizing their country, kashmir, afghanistan, terrorism. Its nit fulky climate issue its mismanagement of water resources

  5. So we are talking about the country where some politician threaten others with nuclear weapons:
    In 2018, there was a Muhammad cartoon contest planned by the Dutch politician Geert Wilders in 2018. The contest sparked protests in Pakistan, where thousands of Islamists set off on a protest march to demand that Imran Khan's new government sever diplomatic ties with the Netherlands over the "blasphemous" cartoon competition¹. The march was organized by Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP), a political party dedicated to the punishment of blasphemy. Khadim Rizvi, the firebrand cleric who founded the TLP, said that condemnation of the contest by the Pakistani government was not enough and "only jihad" was the solution. Before Pakistan's general election in 2018, Rizvi said if he had the power he would order a nuclear strike against the Netherlands if its government allowed the competition to go ahead. However, it's important to note that this statement was made by an individual and does not necessarily reflect the official position of Pakistan.

  6. Their media is not talking about it anymore. Dont wori, nuclear bomb,mullahs and madrassas will take care of the beleaugered people 😅

  7. Help for Pakistan should look like this. Committee of independent countries coming there and solving it. Giving money to the government of Bhutto's, Sharif's , or to army will only fill pockets of few. Come to London and check where they put all the money that they stole. Go to Pakistan and check how generals and anyone who was in government living. Worse in it is that the areas which are affected the most are those which are the poorest ones. People who are living there are uneducated and with nothing which means even if they migrate they won't be able to survive.

  8. Money from international community will just flow until we have nuclear weapons
    Because if we fall the nukes might get into wrong hands maybe the taliban or ISIS…i wouldn't take that chance if i were the west❤

  9. Pakistan and Pakistani every where they go they are with their begging bowl. Even here this Pakistani origin journalist begging climate relief fund from different countries to support their corrupt elites to buy flats in London, Sydeny or LA.
