I saw a post on Linkedin – it said all my friends come from the highest emitting carbon countries – it was in reference to Pakistan… it tried to tackle the silence that is this unbalanced impact of the global north capitalism and its impact on the global south. Still, it did so from a self-serving lens, from a global north lens – perhaps that’s all we’ve got…

Pakistan's devastating floods:

– 1350 people killed
– 50M people displaced
– 900K livestock deaths
– 1M houses washed away
– 40+ reservoirs breached
– 220+ bridges collapsed
– 90% cropped damaged
– $10B loss to economy
– 1/3 country underwater

I saw a tweet it showed me visually the flood impact

This is so serious – why is it not dominating all the media – social or otherwise…?

If you can support, help and/or just share these resources online…

To support those affected by the flooding in Pakistan, GoFundMe has created a centralized hub to house every verified fundraiser.
