It has been four weeks since the worst monsoon in their recorded history, hit Pakistan and left over 8 million people homeless and in need of food. In this past month, all but four of Pakistan’s district have been hit by heavy rains and sustained massive flooding.
To the raw figures, since the monsoon hit, 1,600 people have died and 17 million people have been affected by the flooding. Over ten percent of their population has been affected by these changes in weather.
The map below shows the devastation that has ravaged the entire country.
