Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Monday, Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif used the deaths of children in the country’s floods as a wake-up call to get the world to act quickly.

Over 500 children died in the floods and rains, which were unlike anything that had ever happened before, and around 16 million people have been affected.

PM wrote on Twitter, “Let these children not be a number, but a clarion call for quick action to rebuild their lives and futures.”

PM Sharif said that the world needs to talk about the plight of children when talking about the damage caused by floods in Pakistan. He said that the disaster had hurt millions of children and killed more than 500 of them.

UNICEF says that 3.4 million children in Pakistan need “immediate, life-saving help” because of “super floods.”

Floods caused by record monsoon rains have affected 16 million children, UNICEF’s Pakistan Representative Abdullah Fadil said this week after visiting the country’s southern Sindh Province. One minister called the floods “the worst humanitarian disaster in a decade.

The country’s National Disaster Management Authority put the number of people who have died from the floods since mid-June at 1,545, with 552 of them being children.
