First Came the Floods. Now Pakistan's Children face a new disaster.

 

    According to an article entitled First Came the Floods. Now Pakistan's children face a new disorder, written by Sophia Saifi, Rhea Mogul, Anna Coren, Sanal Sidhu, Javid Iqbal, and Sameer Mandhro, "More than 10 children die every day at the Mother and Child Healthcare Hospital in Pakistan's Sindh province alone, according to doctors at the facility --all from water-related ailments stemming from this summer's devastating floods that submerged a third of the country." (https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/25/asia/pakistan-floods-children-water-home-disease-intl-hnk-dst/index.html ) The articled goes further on to state that the water problem will not resolve soon. While some may believe that we as a nation need to focus on what's going on in our country first, we need to focus on all countries. These are innocent children dying from being bathed, from drinking a simple thing such as water. There have been multiple charities that have donated to clean well water to Africa, charities that have donated to the Flint water crisis. Why not contact one of those organizations and start there?
