Global hunger index pakistan rank

Aisha Jamshed has been Welthungerhilfe's country director in Pakistan since 2020. In this guest article published in German newspaper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger on September 22, she reports on the situation in the regions hit by the flood and urges the public to take more responsibility and increase humanitarian aid. People in Pakistan have learned to cope with extreme weather. After all, heat waves, heavy rain and droughts alternate regularly throughout the year. But the amount of rain the monsoon brought this year was beyond imagination. Not for 50 years has it rained so much in August; in some provinces, seven to eight times as much rain fell as usual – and now a third of the country is under water. Like practically every Pakistani, I was afraid for my family and friends. For example, my brother-in-law's family was trapped in their house, I couldn't reach them for days and didn't know if they were still alive. My relief that nothing bad had happened to them quickly gave way to concern about how humanitarian aid could be provided to the millions of flood victims. Thoughts of the scale of the disaster keep me awake at night. 33 million people, as many as live in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse combined, have been affected by the floods, and 1,500 people have died. Some 13,000 kilometers of road, the equivalent of the total length of all highways in Germany, have been destroyed, and more than 930,000 livestock have drowned. Water and mud has damaged or destroyed 1.9 millio...

What Index? When Pakistanis are fighting it out for flour in streets, how Pak is ahead of India in Global Hunger Index Looking at current economic crisis in Pakistan - with no respite in the near future as World Bank has cut Pakistan’s GDP growth forecast in half - it seems India's objection to several perception-based indices for their bias, flawed methodology and opacity certainly wasn't 'untrue' New Delhi: Ranked ahead of India in the Global Hunger Index 2022, Pakistan today is facing one of its worst-ever flour crises amid shortage of wheat. The situation is such that people are fighting with each other on roads causing clashes and chaos, while stampedes were reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh and Balochistan provinces. This indicates that those who published the report did not do their homework well before placing New Delhi (107) behind Islamabad (99).
