needs a support from everyone. and there are warnings that the worst isn t over? yes, the worst isn t over because the rain patterns are very different this time due to the climate change and the prolonged monsoon. and still, there are predictions that maybe some more rains in september. and this time the catastrophe will be more, because this these rains are expected in the northern side of pakistan, which are the catchment areas of the indus river system. so if it will be a river outburst, then you can imagine another 40 days of flooding starting from top in gilgit baltistan and going up to the indus river system. the head of the institute for fiscal studies has criticised as simplistic and worrying some of the tax cutting policies being put forward by the conservative leadership candidate, liz truss.
and this is something we haven t seen here before. in 2010, it was disastrous, but at that point, it was accessible. at this time, the problem is the rains have not stopped since they started. for instance, it started injune and since then, it has only been increasing. they are also seeing a lot of dams, six dams have been burst since the rains have started. so just the day before, there was a warning that was given that although it is going to be dry in the next 2a hours, it is still expected that some catchment areas will have some sort of high flood or other activities happening. so this is something that anybody in pakistan had not expected before. thank something that anybody in pakistan had not expected before. let s get more from environmental consultant shahla gondal. shejoins me from oslo. thank you very much forjoining us. the situation that has been going on over months with continuous heavy rainfall, was there any way that the country could have been prepared?
