Pakistan flood news

Pakistan’s coastal areas are bracing for a second climate-induced emergency in a year, with thousands of people being evacuated before Cyclone Biparjoy makes landfall on Thursday. The government has shifted about 65,000 people to safer places, Sherry Rehman, Pakistan’s minister of climate change, said at a press conference. The evacuations have taken place from an area that has “barely recovered from the last climate-induced disaster,” she said, adding that some 75 relief camps have been set up to shelter people.
