Developed Countries Owes Compensation For Damages

 

Meanwhile June 2022, torrential rain has altered Pakistan's landscape, submerging villages and fields, destroying homes, and killing  people. Severe monsoon rains have deeply affected Pakistan, exacerbating the worst flooding the country has seen in a decade.

The scenario on the ground is different from anything we've ever witnessed. Needs will grow as winter approaches. For more than eight weeks, some families have been living in deserted makeshift tents. Some are only dressed in tattered rags to protect themselves from the blazing sun. Children are enclosed by pools of filthy water tainted with fertilizers and feaces, as well as disease and virus swarms, sometimes just meters away from where they sleep.

Apart from flooding submerging 1/3 of the country, existing infrastructure is collapsing in Pakistan, developing countries have long requested financial assistance from wealthy countries to cover the costs of heat waves, floods, droughts, sea level rise, and other climatic disasters. They claim that the developing countries which became wealthy by using fossil fuels, also heated the earth and caused loss and damage.

The developing world's response to climate change was centered on loss and damage. Rich countries owe compensation to nations suffering from a climate disaster. The agreement has been reached between the developed world and the developing world is failing because there has been so much loss and harm with so little compensation given to nations that have contributed so little carbon footprint.

To conclude, the floods have damaged vast sections of Pakistan. The disaster killed many people including children, and displaced people. To control the spread of various diseases in flood-ravaged areas, an immediate response is required, as well as long-term financial support not only from fellowi citizens but also from developed countries.
