Pakistan is ranked the 5th country most vulnerable to climate change according to the Climate Risk Index. In the past century, sea levels along the coast of Karachi have risen about 1.1 mm per year and temperatures have increased an annual mean of around 0.63 degrees celsius (Pakistan's First Biennal Update Report, 2022). The increasing warm temperatures have melted glaciers in Pakistan and have formed over 3000 new lakes (United Nations Development Programme, 2017). The increasing temperatures and increasing sea levels collectively have worsened the monsoons and led to devastating floods. The Union of Concerned Scientists found that floods, specifically focusing on the one that happened in the summer of 2022, have affected over 33 million Pakistanis (Center for Disaster Philantrophy, 2023) and 20.6 million Pakistanis are in need of humanitarian aid (Center for Disaster Philantrophy 2023). Till this day, the people of Pakistan are deadling with the cost of these floods. 

Islamic Relief USA has been providing aid to Pakistan since 1992. The organization currenlty works to provide food aid, clean water resources, healthcare, and emergency aid after climate disasters among the many services they provide in Pakistan.
