Commenting on the situation in a series of tweets, journalist Nazish Brohi said that the floods are a disaster of staggering scale.
She said she has worked in disasters in a professional capacity like dozens of other Pakistanis, who are trained and more experienced than her. "Most of them [have] left Pakistan. They are now in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan etc. Because our international agencies have shut down INGOs and told them to leave," she added.
Flood relief operations in Sindh have not been effective, Brohi added, due to lack of roads for transport, coordination issues among the government departments, and lack of adequate heavy machinery, among other issues.
According to reports, the intense floods have displaced over six million people, damaged around 1,697,157 houses, and killed more than 200,000 animals so far.
