On Wednesday’s show, The Stream takes a look at recovery efforts following disasters in Pakistan and Puerto Rico that are both linked to climate change.
Pakistan:
It’s been more than three months since catastrophic flooding in Pakistan initiated one of the country’s most severe climate change-related humanitarian crises. With 33 million people affected and a death toll that has surpassed 1,500, authorities are now raising alarm about the potential for a new wave of deaths resulting from water-borne diseases along with hunger due to the devastation of crops. “All this means more unsafe births, more untreated diabetes or heart disease, and more children missing vaccination, to name but a few of the impacts on health,” warned The World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. We look at the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Pakistan following recent devastating floods.
Puerto Rico:
Flooding, mudslides and blackouts have incapacitated Puerto Rico following the landfall of Hurricane Fiona on September 18. The storm knocked out power across the US island territory, and 10 days later, hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans continue to live without access to power and water. Meanwhile, some communities remain entirely cut off from access to aid as fuel for backup generators begins to run low. Fiona landed days before the five year anniversary of Hurricane Maria, which devastated the territory and killed more than 3,000 people in 2017. This most recent hurricane is a stark warning of the threat that compounding climate-related events pose to vulnerable communities and critical infrastructure on an island that never fully recovered from the impact of Maria. We discuss recovery efforts in Puerto Rico and what’s needed to bolster the island against future severe weather events.

This is why global south nations need to come together, the rich world needs to be held accountable
Pakistan is going to submerge under water like how Indus Valley Civilization went, why ?
1) Corrupt AF people.
2) Fake nationalism.
3) People won't pay taxes.
4) They have no scientific community to tackle using nanotechnology or biotechnology to come up with something.
5) Heck, they are not even at heads with technology or medical infrastructure, etc.
6) China – destroyed another country with its loan lending.
7) I think Himalaya is melting at an even faster pace than expected.
Maybe stop reproducing and trying to live in what is largely a desert?
Maybe?
Nahhhhhh….
Pakistan be like: someone give me loan 🤣🤣
India be like: yes I am your dad I give loan beta
No problem you Pakistan have had a great friend CCP , It's just beginning of the disaster's
It's Allah's will. Allah wants to reset Pakistan. People should pray for more flood.
It's going to be a long and heavy recover the climate change damage has made Pakistan into a hellhole
I am looking for an instance where Pakistan came to the aid of another country when they had a flood, can someone here help me?
I wish the climate would take all the senate,house and congress out with it!
CLIMATE CHANGE a/k/a The Green Communist Movement which is a FRAUD perpetrated by UNCED to change int'l laws. Those people that want clean power world, there is a need for more clean green energy which it will need more carbon emissions to be consumed. The Green Movement is a SATANIC cult!
There's NO CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!
Only gulf countries alms can help Pakistan for recover 💯💯💯
Nobody cares! Ask your Muslim masters!
Climate change is not man-made. Yes the citizens of the world pollute the waters and the land they don't have to do that they do it's all about money.
But the weather no that's God controlled. But people aren't going to talk about that that's a big no no.
I just think it's bizarre that you keep hanging the extreme weather on man.
It's a message to repent.
Yes we must be good stewards of the Earth but it takes those that control what's put into the rivers that pollutes drinking water and the like.
Carry on
Good to see Pakistan in this Situation. They are suffering for their Sins which they are doing for many years. Those sins are haunting on them Now. The Country which famously known as The Begging Bowl of world for Loans & Money from other Countries. Who knows the Flood Aid which they are getting as donations maybe used for their military and to pay Loan Interests.
Isn't it the same country which sheltered Osama and supported Taliban??
why doesnt qatar give on billion to pakistan…where is the ummah now?when it comes to your own money it becomes difficult…why cant al jazeera make a documentary on qatar tight fistedness…does al jazeera have the guts to speak against their qatar masters?
This flood pushed Pakistan too back it will be a nuclear African nation of the future.
They plan and Allah plans and indeed Allah is the best of planners
The Biden Administration gave Pakistan $56 million for flood relief and $450 million to refit F-16 warplanes. And the current administration in Pakistan gladly took both. Perhaps, there's something that people worldwide are missing here? And, maybe Al Jazeera should investigate? Just thinking aloud here… I am sure that former Prime Minister Imran Khan will raise this question in one of his speeches soon.
I wonder why this video has very less views?? When they talk anything about india they get millions of views
Probably pakistani loves India so.much that they focused more on india then their own country
Isint pakistan seeking US help to repair F16s now u know what they want really.
Climate distaster hahaha there was bigger floods before humans were on this planet
They should build more mosques hahaha
IT IS UNITED NATION DUTY TO HELP PAKISTAN FLOOD VICTIMS. U.N. CANNOT LEAVE THEM TO DIE.
It's always these bongs who work for enemy nations
Why is there no talk of putting in infrastructure to manage future flooding?
Pakistan never will war prepare china afghanistan Iran Saudi bjp mimtrs Indian parliament sold india all ready ukraine war is one action arrested of Indian mla mp who speeches in riots and violence
