The summer of 2010 produced Pakistan's worst flooding in 80 years. The floooding began in the summer of July 22, 2010 in the province of Baluchistan. The flood got across Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province in the northwest before flowing south into Punjab and Sindh. Approximately 1,300 to 1,600 died during the flood. The flooding has by now affected about one-fifth of the country, nearly 62,000 square miles or an area larger than England, according to the United Nations. Six weeks after the floods began, as rivers continued to devour villages and farmland in the southern province of Sindh, aid workers warned of a triple threat: loss of crops, loss of seed for the next planting season and loss of a daily income.
This article shares a similarity having to do with what is currently going in class. Which is location, since people have to move to another location because the flood did damage.
