    Shahbaz Sharif, the prime minister of impoverished Pakistan, appealed to the world on Friday for assistance in repairing the fatal flood devastation there.

    His tweet came while Pakistan was still being pummeled by unusually severe rain, which brought the total number of fatalities since mid-June to 937.

    Sharif claimed to have discussed flood damage with international ambassadors in the nation’s capital, Islamabad. Over 3 million people were impacted by flooding brought on by rain, melting glaciers, and cloudbursts.

    “The ongoing rain spell has caused devastation across the country,” he tweeted, thanking other countries and groups for their support. “Together we will build back better.”

    According to the National Disaster Management Authority, floods have destroyed over 150 bridges, washed away about 150 miles of roads, and damaged 170,000 dwellings.

    In Sindh province, where rescuers were using boats to remove marooned individuals, the situation worsened despite the fact that floodwaters had retreated in certain parts. Tents and temporary dwellings were the homes of thousands of flood victims.

    The turmoil compelled Sharif’s administration to issue the proclamation. According to a statement released by the UN on Thursday, $3 million has been set aside for U.N. relief organizations and its partners in Pakistan to deal with the floods.

    Around Pakistan, the monsoon season normally starts in July. However, this year, the nation began to experience significant rains in June, which led to flooding.

    “This will be used for health, nutrition, food security, and water and sanitation services in flood-affected areas, focusing on the most vulnerable,” it said.

    According to scientists, a key contributing cause to the exceptionally severe weather that has made life miserable for millions of people is climate change.

    The actual difficulty right now, according to climate change minister Sherry Rehman, was saving lives and setting up tents and food for the homeless.

    “This is a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions, thousands are without shelter, many are without food and people are stranded,”

    Rehman said. “We need to ask not just the provinces and Islamabad, it is beyond the capacity of any one administration or government to rehabilitate and even manage the rescue and relief.”
