infrastructure, wash away crops and destroy Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
(WASH)infrastructure. During winter monsoons, dry weather can lead to
drought and crop failures from lack of moisture.

at different rates, with land surfaces warming more quickly than the ocean.

cash-strapped Pakistan’s economy over USD 4 billion in the current fiscal year as the

aftermath of the floods that have killed nearly 1,000 people and injured and displaced
thousands more since mid-June
