Talking about flood and looking over the history of flood certainly reminds us about the flood that occurred on 1931. The worst flood of the world hit at Huang He (River Yellow) China, making a loss of 1,000,000 to 3,700,000 people and much more.
Similarly, history witnessed a great disaster when flood hit Pakistan, following the heavy monsoon rains on 29 October, 2010 was a regular morning, and mothers were serving breakfast to their children. Pakistan was trying hard to overcome the 27th July incident of plane crash. None amongst us did even think that this flood will create the history, the history of being one of the worst floods.


The government said about 200 million dollars would be required for recovery and relief work and over 1 billion dollars would be needed to repair key infrastructure in the country.
Even before the flood, 60 percent of rural Pakistanis were living at or below subsistence level. Now, with millions more hungry and homeless children and youth having nothing to due and getting no help by Government, is something that is about to explode. Their hunger is really the best way to address the war on terror. It seems today as if pictures have started lying to our naked eyes, one of the most beautiful places in this world have become a ground with rocks and water only, there is no greenery, no roads, no communication networks and other necessity things.

The Government can also introduce some extra ordinary new programs; keeping the density of children present in those effected areas. They Government can arrange activities related to education, sports, training them about different skills like “using computers, machineries and a lot more.” The Government can offer some jobs to the people who are uneducated by keeping their skills in mind, as most of the people are uneducated in the effected areas. There are a lot of ways which our Government can do by using resources and implementations of lawful activities to get over the loss of economy and to over come the people’s needs for those effected areas. These ways are very important for us. Pakistan being one of the major countries listed in terrorist activities and our youth should not be forced to join those types of negatives activities to earn, for fulfilling their needs. The best possible example in this case is of Bangladesh. Bangladesh faces floods almost every year and has learnt from their past. We must observe the steps taken by the government of Bangladesh to reduce the loss by natural disasters.
We must not ignore warnings given by the Pakistan Meteorological Department regarding the anomalous amount of rains expected in the region. The chain of commands shall be set in a way that the deliverance of messages isn’t delayed and the messages are not distorted. Actions should be taken swiftly and mobilization of people should be quick in such urgent cases.
