"Water Crisis Continues: Millions of Pakistani Children Still Lack Safe Water"

One year after devastating floods in Pakistan, around 4 million children in the country still lack access to safe water, according to UNICEF. The floods, caused by monsoon rains and melting glaciers, claimed the lives of nearly 1,600 people and impacted an estimated 33 million more. The disaster worsened pre-existing inequities, with one-third of children already out of school and malnutrition reaching emergency levels. The country's economic crisis and political turmoil have further compounded the situation. UNICEF has called for increased investment in basic social services for children and families in Pakistan.
