The latest rain and major flooding in Pakistan is another example of extreme climate change. Here's what Angelenos are doing to help those in need.
Record-breaking monsoon rains and extreme flooding have killed nearly 1,400 people in Pakistan since June, including hundreds of children. The disaster has also decimated scores of homes, schools and health clinics.and more than half a million homes have been destroyed, according to the country’s National Disaster Management Authority. The floods have also wreaked havoc on roads and bridges, making it hard for people to find safety and for emergency workers to deliver aid to affected areas.
Asim Bharwani, whose family hails from Pakistan and India, co-runs Paratta, a South Asian restaurant in the Arts District, with his wife. They readily donated to relief efforts. Still, Bharwani maintains that, to help Pakistan’s flood survivors in the long run, Angelenos should work on reducing greenhouse gas emissions — everything from how often we drive to how much meat we consume.
