  • Another Take: Why hasn't Pakistan recovered from its catastrophic floods?
    Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on February 22, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. Pakistan is still reeling from 2022’s deadly floods, which put a third of the country underwater. Though the country has barely contributed to climate change, its people are still paying the price. Six months on from the worst of the devastation, people across the country are still displaced and they’re facing knock-on effects of the floods on their health. The international community pledged $9 billion to aid Pakistan in rebuilding at the beginning of this year, but experts on the ground say it will be of little use if it doesn’t arrive soon. So is the international community doing enough to help? In this episode: Zuha Siddiqui (@SiddiquiZuha), Journalist Taimur Khan Jhagra (@Jhagra), Former Health & Finance Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ed Taylor, Emergency Response Coordinator, Doctors Without Borders Episode credits: This episode was updated by Tamara Khandaker. The original production team was Ashish Malhotra, Amy Walters, Chloe K. Li, and our guest host, Halla Mohieddeen. Our sound designer is Alex Roldan. Our engagement producers are Adam Abou-Gad and Vienna Maglio. Aya Elmileik is lead of audience engagement.
