CELEB TWEETS
* Urwa Hocane (@VJURWA): Someone said to me today: “It’s heart-warming to see how we are united as a nation in the times of this natural catastrophe; imagine how we could prosper as a country if we worked together like this every day, for the betterment of Pakistan!” - That did hit me! #PakistanFloods2022
* Shehzad Roy (@ShehzadRoy): Let’s convert our political rage into flood relief. Let’s unite our families to save families affected by the floods. #LetsUniteAgain
* Claudia Webbe MP (@ClaudiaWebbe): Pakistan has 7253 glaciers, the most outside of the arctic polar region - they’re all reportedly melting fast.
Pakistan contributes less than 1% of greenhouse global emissions but is among the top 10 countries affected by climate change. Pakistan is paying the price for our greed.
