Donations have poured in from British citizens of Pakistani origin and UK-based charities after destructive monsoon rains
British charities and Pakistani diaspora groups have raised at least £1m after devastating floods in the south Asian country have killed more than 1,000 people, and affected about 30 million.
Pakistan is the eighth most at-risk country globally from the impacts of climate change. In the last decade, it has suffered an estimated $18bn in damages due to disasters, including the deadliest floods in the country’s history in 2010, which left more than 2,000 people dead and millions homeless.
