Over 70 percent of the country was submerged by the extremely heavy monsoon rains, which also devastated ready crops stretched across hundreds of thousands of acres and caused more than 1200 fatalities in Pakistan. With the possibility of additional flooding in the country’s future, particularly in Sindh, hundreds of thousands of displaced people urgently require shelter, food, and clean water.
As a result of shortages brought on by the severe floods, Pakistan’s government would contact coalition partners and important stakeholders before importing food supplies from India, according to earlier comments made by Finance Minister Miftah Ismail. More than one foreign organization has petitioned the government to allow them to transport food products from India over the land border, stated Finance Minister Miftah Ismail in a tweet. The administration will determine whether to allow imports depending on the supply shortage position after consulting with its coalition partners and significant stakeholders.
Pakistan has chosen to import onions and tomatoes from Iran and Afghanistan, respectively, to deal with the continuing issue. The situation is getting worse as southern Pakistan prepares for additional flooding brought on by a rise in the Indus River’s water level. The UN has requested $160 million to assist in what they have dubbed a ‘historic climate calamity.’

Pakistan’s Sindh Province saw 466% more rainfall than the 30-year normal. Sindh has certain areas that resemble an inland sea. Since roadways are often the only dry terrain in sight, many families have fled there. The Indus River overflow in Sindh Province has resulted in devastating floods that have formed a massive 100 km-wide inland lake, according to the most recent satellite pictures.
