The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, describes the flood as the worst in the country's history. The extreme monsoon rains have drenched Pakistan, resulting in the country's worst flooding in a decade. The floods have destroyed more than one million houses. More than 33 million people, who account for one in seven Pakistanis, have been affected by the devastating floods, according to Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority. The catastrophic flood, which has claimed the lives of thousands of people, has also washed away homes, croplands and infrastructure. About ten times heavier than usual, the rainfall has led to more than a third of Pakistan now being underwater, an ESA statement said, citing a Pakistani government official. Since mid-June, Pakistan has been experiencing heavy monsoon rainfall. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have released satellite images of flood-hit Pakistan, which show the devastating impact of the deluge on the country.
