It a national heartache with many on the social media finding the pictures unbelievable and difficult to understand because, just one instance, the gigantic waves of the floods and rivers thunder down across the country. Floods are sweeping land away and tearing up buildings and towers collapsing from the top downwards with deadly swathes of water.

The videos speak for themselves in great abundance. "I have never seen such huge flooding because of rains in my life," octogenarian farmer Rahim Bakhsh Brohi told AFP near Sukkur, in southern Sindh province.

Red alerts for help have already gone out. Pakistan must not stand alone in its hour of need.
The flooding in Pakistan is being driven by glacier melt from climate change. Pakistan has the most glaciers in the world outside the Arctic. https://t.co/JuwFDWkaAM
