NGO sets up school at Pakistan flood relief camp
STORY: "We were very worried because the children's education was getting neglected, but now, thank God, a school has been set up, and they are studying. We will be happy if the school is open all year round," one parent told Reuters on Monday (September 26).
”We are poor people; we cannot afford to send them to any other school. So we are grateful for this school," he said.
At the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations last Friday (September 23), Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asked why his people were paying the price of global warming.
Both the Pakistani government and U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres have blamed the flooding on climate change.
