Floods that devastated parts of Pakistan have left thousands in despair, however, it has added to the miseries of the already marginalized people of Sindh.
Experts warn that Sindh province of Pakistan is witnessing erratic rains and weather conditions, which has added to the plight of Hindus, who have already been facing adversity and severe pakistan institutional discrimination in Pakistan, reported to sources.
I was running behind cars, which came to distribute the ration. I ran and ran for ration but did not get it. Instead got scratches on my leg and arm, says a Hindu community member who is a farmer and the flood affected the roadside of Badin-Mirpurkhas.
As she shows her injuries, she reiterates that pain is a more painful empty stomach.
Pakistan has lost more than 1,000 people to floods, and about 33 million are displaced. Homes are inundated, roads and bridges swept away, and there are still many dead bodies that are missing. Sindh and Balochistan have suffered heavily, but Sindh is worse affected, reported to sources.
Badin, Dadu, or anywhere in the flood-affected areas of Sindh, affected have similar stories to share and at the core of complaints is the fact that the state has done nothing. Instead, it treats people like trash.
Moreover, the government’s camp at Government Polytechnic Institute at Dadu is pathetic, people live in conditions that are worse even for animals to live, reported to sources.
Flood damaged our homes and now we are left to die by the government, says an old woman in Badin.
The flood victims have no other option but to manage survival sans any help. The rescue camp is filthy, with no water, washrooms, and health facilities, including the availability of doctors.
