"Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Endless Ordeal: Terrorism and Natural Calamities"
The residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have suffered a great deal, having experienced terrorism for over two decades and natural calamities, such as earthquakes and floods, that have resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and taken everything with them in their path. This time too, the monsoon rains have left areas of the northwest of the country to face flash floods that the two districts of Buner and Swat have mostly borne the brunt of. In a matter of two days, more than 350 people have already been killed in the worst monsoon-related calamity so far this year, while hundreds are still missing.
Despite receiving financial support from the World Bank, an early warning mechanism is still to be operational in the aftermath of repeated cycles of large-scale destruction caused by disastrous floods, while the main impediments to such an effort remain lack of political will and an apathy towards good governance.
To ensure that such a tragedy does not occur again in the future, the federal and the provincial governments must make governance and disaster preparedness a top priority by making a provision of finances for strong early warning systems and long-term disaster-resistant infrastructure, as well as the quick disbursal of financial aid for relief and rehabilitation to help those affected by the calamity.
