It will be in our advantage to be quick enough in persuading ourselves to live with rains and floods as it is reported that the monsoon rains in 2023 might be fiercer.

There is no denying from the fact that flooding damages properties and endangers humans and all other living things. The floods are among the most frequent natural disasters that cause greater economic losses and bring difficulties to human activities. But the point to learn is that we should adapt ourselves with new climate changes. It will be more pertinent and in our advantage to be quick enough in persuading ourselves to live with rains and floods as it is reported that the monsoon rains in 2023 might be more fierce than that occurred recently. There are several countries in the world that receive heavy rains round the year and are faced with floods but even then the life goes on there as per routine.

Hence, stop thinking it as your destiny and get ready for worst since God helps those who help themselves. Now you have plenty of time to do something. If you cannot do anything then the last option is of migration.

Thousands of babies are to born in Tents

One-third of Pakistan is inundated, as floods swept through the country this summer. The catastrophic floods, resulting from monsoon rains that began in June, are unprecedented in scale and scope. So far, they have affected some 33 million people — about 14% of Pakistan’s population — causing death, damage, displacement and loss whose effects will be felt for months and years to come. Hundreds of thousands of pregnant women have been displaced by the unprecedented floods in Pakistan. They urgently need proper medical care to ensure a safe pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women at the camps also complain of a lack of female doctors and midwives to help them.

Many peoples are distressed with this and are facing uncountable problems, one of them is child birth in that condition of their society or environment. Hence, many babies are expected to born in tents, because many villagers have no access to hospitals in these days and some hospitals are also damaged. Is this a safe option for babies and mothers who have to face a lot of problem due to flooding during pregnancy?
