New York: Antonio Guterres urged the world to come to Pakistan’s aid as he launched an appeal to help the tens of millions affected in the disaster, the BBC News reported.
At least 1,136 people have been killed so far and roads, crops, homes and bridges washed away across the country.
Yesterday, the country’s climate change minister Sherry Rehman described the situation as a “climate-induced humanitarian disaster of epic proportions”.
This year’s record monsoon is comparable to the devastating floods of 2010 – the deadliest in Pakistan’s history – which left more than 2,000 people dead.
Guterres said: “Let’s stop sleepwalking towards the destruction of our planet by climate change.”
