Summary
[edit]DescriptionFloods still affecting large areas of Pakistan.jpg |
English: Deadly floods have affected Pakistan for months, with devastating consequences. In addition to a large number of tragic causalities, the country is also suffering from the economic consequences brought about by the destruction of infrastructure and the flooding of more than 4 million acres of farmland nationwide. According to the United Nations, the effects of this disaster will be felt for years. The country was said to be “on the verge of a public health disaster” because of the increased food insecurity caused by the destruction of crops. These images, acquired by Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, depict a flooded area in the Sindh Region as visible by Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites. Acquired at a one-month interval, they show the region before it was affected by the flood (on the left, the image from 10 August), at its peak (in the middle, on the one from 10 September 2022) and the current status of the area (on the right, the image of 13 October). In September 2022, the Copernicus Emergency Management Service closely monitored the flooded areas thanks to their new and Global Flood Monitoring (GFM) tool and to the products from two Rapid Mapping activations. All the details are available here and here. |
