The World Bank in its report has said the number of acute food-insecure people in 28 flood affected districts in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Sindh is expected to increase from 4.7 million to 7.2 million by the first quarter of next year.

The World Bank’s latest ‘Food Security Update’ said that monsoon rains since June this year and outpourings from glacial lakes caused widespread flash flooding and landslides in Pakistan.

The report said one-third of the land in Pakistan was inundated, and it might take months for the water to recede.
