As it is known, Pakistan recently experienced the worst flood in its history, approximately 33 million of our brothers and sisters were affected by the disaster, agricultural fields, tens of thousands of houses were submerged, nearly 800,000 animals were destroyed, and a loss of nearly 30 billion dollars occurred in the country.
