International aid was reaching Pakistan on Monday, as the military and volunteers desperately tried to evacuate many thousands stranded by widespread flooding driven by “monster monsoons” that have claimed more than 1,000 lives this summer.
Cargo planes from Turkey and the United Arab Emirates began the international rush to assist the impoverished nation, landing on Sunday in Islamabad carrying tents, food and other daily necessities.

Monsoon in India is over, yet the rains in the higher elevations have raised the water level in major rivers and their tributaries downstream. There is another warning for flash flooding of the Indus in Sindh Province.

Pakistan is inundated with endemic corruption, lack of relief infrastructure and scant regard for the environment coupled with glacial erosion upstream, heavy monsoons, and heatwaves that increase upward air flow are a concoction for disasters. The intense heatwaves, the glacial meltdowns, the glacial erosion and the heavy monsoons are all due to climate change.
