Pakistan is being swept over by super floods and it needs your help

Note: This article sheds light on the current flash flood situation that has affected a significant proportion of Pakistan's provinces.

The government of Pakistan declared an emergency due to monsoon floods, heavy rains fell throughout most of the country. Until now, more than 1200 people have died as a result of the monsoon rains that started in June, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), which reported the figure on Friday. Of those deaths, 34 have occurred within the past 24 hours. Human life aside, cattle of these regions (which are predominantly agriculture-oriented) have been significantly affected. It is estimated that around 17,000 cattle would become victims of the disaster. However, we can only imagine the real death toll of this catastrophe at this point in time. The numbers are most likely way up there.

In any case, the federal and provincial administrations have been asking the people of Pakistan and foreign donors for help speeding up the relief operation. 

If you want to help those affected by the floods, here is a list of reputable organizations to which you may make a donation.
