10,000 Pakistan schools destroyed by the floods

The floods are a children’s emergency, according to the assessment of Pakistan’s crisis from the executive director of UNICEF. Almost nine million children have been affected and more than 10,000 school buildings have also been destroyed by the flooding, according to the government. Along side child-friendly spaces which help children deal with trauma, there is an urgent long-term need for new schools to replace and perhaps improve upon what has been lost in the floods. But for now, thousands of children will do their learning out in the open.
