Unseen tides: the hidden health crisis after the 2022 monsoon floods in Sindh, Pakistan
In
June 2022, extreme monsoon rainfall struck Pakistan, causing devastating
floods that particularly ravaged Sindh. This case study delves into the
profound human impact of the disaster, with approximately 12 million people
affected and 7 million displaced. Beyond the physical damages to homes and
infrastructure, the flood exposed the underlying vulnerabilities in
healthcare, sanitation and access to basic amenities, disproportionately
affecting marginalised communities. The report paints a vivid picture of the
social struggles, loss of life and ongoing challenges in rehabilitation. It
stands as a critical testament to the real-world consequences of
climate-related disasters, providing essential insights for future
preparedness and response efforts.
