Devastating floods in Pakistan have washed away entire buildings, homes, roads and bridges. These are the worst floods that Pakistan has seen in over a decade. Since mid-June, more than 1,300 people have died from the floods, nearly a third of them children. By some estimates, more than 30 million people are now displaced.
Last week, U.N. Secretary General António Guterres called the disaster "a monsoon on steroids." Also last week, the country’s climate minister said that one third of the country was underwater, and officials have blamed climate change for the disaster.
For more on the grave impact of these floods, we spoke with Susannah George, Washington Post Afghanistan and Pakistan Bureau Chief.
