The Hollywood starlet flew to Dadu by helicopter, and when she got there, she was closely watched. The actress also went out on a boat to see and understand the damage caused by the terrible floods.
She also talked to the women who were suffering to find out what they needed and how to stop others from going through the same thing. Ms. Jolie has already helped people who were hurt by the floods in Pakistan in 2010 and the earthquake in 2005. This time, she will visit the IRC’s emergency response operations and local groups that help displaced people, such as Afghan refugees.
Pakistan has only contributed 1% of the world’s carbon emissions, but its people have been taking care of Afghan refugees for more than 40 years, making it the second largest country for refugees.
Angelina Jolie will talk about how the people of Pakistan need help right away and how we need long-term solutions to the growing problems of climate change, human migration, and long-term insecurity.
Pakistan Flood
Since the middle of June, more than 1,100 people have died in the floods, including almost 400 children, and millions of people have been forced to leave their homes (NDMA). Pakistan, which was already going through political and economic problems, is now on the front lines of the climate crisis that people have caused.
The monsoon season in Pakistan usually brings heavy rain, but the Pakistan Meteorological Department says that this year has been the wettest since records began in 1961. According to pictures taken by the ESA on August 30, torrential monsoon rain that was 10 times heavier than usual caused the Indus River to overflow, creating a long lake that is tens of kilometers wide.
