A Sisyphean struggle

Every year floods sweep away whole villages.Every year people mourn over the death toll. Every year crop-losses affect textile manufacturing, Pakistan’s largest export sector. Every year we call international community for aid to cope with flood losses.

What a country we are. For nine months, we die due to drought and run for water, and for the rest of the three months, we die due to floods and run from water.

Dunya yehi Dunya hai tou kiya yaad rahe gi / Gaaon mera kab tak yuhni barbad rahe ga (the answer is every year)
