UNICEF’s Global Director of Education Robert Jenkins, upon returning from flood-affected areas in Pakistan stated, “Almost overnight, millions of Pakistan’s children lost family members, homes, safety, and their education, under the most traumatic circumstances.”
“Now, faced with the uncertainty of when they’ll be able to return to school, and having already endured some of the world’s longest school closures due to the pandemic, they are experiencing yet another threat to their future.”, He stated further.
It’s been 2 months since the havoc flood effected large areas of Pakistan. Only the roofs of school buildings are visible in some of flood affected areas.
