Episode notes

The Pakistani government is promising Pakistanis who've been affected. The immediate promise is that they'll be given some sort of relief in terms of payments, right? But apart from that, nothing. And folks that have been on ground receiving aid have primarily been receiving aid from nonprofits and from mutual aid networks. They're the folks that are going from village to village, and door to door, and documenting what's happening.

After catastrophic flooding, Pakistani people are demanding better disaster management from their government. Their government wants reparations from wealthy countries.

This episode was produced by Haleema Shah, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
