a leading towards the un is calling a 2nd wave of catastrophe. for 2 weeks now, myra jack, ronnie has barely been able to stand up. the 12 year old girl from souk or in southern pakistan has malaria. the area near her home was badly hid by flooding. the stagnant waters and mosquitoes helped infection spread, and getting treatment is almost impossible. planning yard. the shag, my family is very poor body, we can hardly afford medicine, but they still manage to get me something from the pharmacy. but it hasn't made me feel better delay had the at the rena hanniman in to had her main care givers her grandfather, sadie or din. but he doesn't have much money either. he had hoped for medical support from the government or aid organizations. but so far, nothing has come through in joe's well, in a nobody has come to an area of garcia, no organisation, no one at all. only

a neighbors try to help us with that other than that, we haven't had support from any one of that may go to fighting. once a week said, our dean borrows a motorcycle to take my retain kilometers to the doctor. the bumpy ride is strenuous, especially for myra. once they get there, she usually has to wait a few hours before she can be seen. why he the only runs the clinic and is the only doctor. he is completely overwhelmed. yeah, the midday our biggest problem is that we have virtually no doctors in the entire region. we have no staff with no medicine that i will no rush all in the government is doing nothing that he but we have no beds. this is not a real hospital, you were muffled. everything was destroyed by the flooding. who does my refills week and listless. she often has a high fever. while he to ali tries to help as best he can, but his options are limited. within one little muffle, al gore,

the government should provide medicine the i will give the patients prescriptions, but most of the time the medicine is not available anywhere while it, if it is the only a black market prices. so every one suffers ability movement. myra urgently needs malaria medication. but her family can't afford it. she is in such bad shape . she can barely eat for mine. i'm so sick. i'm not hungry at all. thank god, if i were well, i would help my mother with the housework. i had dinner at the moment, i mostly just lie round about it. he said, for now, my reckon only hope that some day medical help will arrive in her village and that finally she will get well. will pakistan's foreign minister bill awhile bhutto zidari is calling for more international support for flood relief efforts. after talked with his german counterpart here in berlin, he gave an exclusive interview to d. w as chief international editor, richard walker. hello, good area. thank you very much for speaking to

d. w. now you've just come from a press conference with alina burbock, your german counterpart, your 1st meeting here in berlin, talking about the devastating floods that have hit just recently published on biblical, is the word that you've used. and are in a bad book saying that pakistan can count on germans solidarity are offering support now token of 60000000 euros. are you satisfied with that 60, by the 1st one, i'm incredibly grateful to the foreign minister for inviting us here for hospitality. and we incredibly are grateful to the people of germany in the government of germany for their support that they have been showing for us in this difficult time. as i mentioned in my press conference, absolutely biblical proportions for our flooding. 33000000 people, which is a 3rd of the land mass. my country for 33000000 people is one and 7 people of pakistan are devastated by these floods. 16000000 of them are children. 660-0000. i'm pregnant women when to give birth. so we're very grateful for the

support of thought when the germany over the international community, by and large, particularly during this phase where we're in our rescue and relief phase. and we've had larger u. n. a flash appeal going forward. we want to work with our partners, including our friends in germany on trainer ways to finance the reconstruction and rehabilitation. as a result of the devastation caused by the floods that we would like to do in a greener, more climate resilient manner. and we're hoping to work with germany with france, with us, with other countries to be able to do so i'm, but i just wanted to drill down what, what you feel is the appropriate kind of scale of support. but there's a lot of crises going on at the moment, but i don't think any crisis happening in any country apart from the war and ukraine, which, which compares to what's happened in pakistan. and just to come back to this 60000000 euros jammies recently announced that he wants to spend 200000000000 euros

on trying to keep energy prices low. that's more than $3000.00 times as much. i just want to understand coming from a developing country coming to europe, to rich country, i are asking for support. he was struck by this huge discrepancy in the vessel. so i, 1st of all, one to explain that their phases to the sort of our asks for support would, will do it would be, we'd be be doing in the next round, which would be a far more expensive proposition is what i was talking about as far as reconstruction and rehabilitation is concerned, and for that, we will, we would require the support of our partners will be understand that the difficult times difficult economic times for every one we've just faced once in a 100 year global pandemic. that has affected the economies of countries everywhere . we've also, i see the devastation in ukraine and the sanctions that come along with it. and

that is resulted in difficulties for the people of germany just as it's resulted with difficulties of the people of bacchus in that context. we've also seen a following, these significant events, this climate catastrophe on a scale that we've never imagined before. 33000000 people is more than the people displaced by partition. i mean, it is an extreme, incredibly significant number, but obviously we'll have to now talk about the reconstruction rehabilitation around the floods. i think that it is important to mention here though, and to sort of quote antonio can terrace that he went secretary general, that it's not a question of charity. it's a question of justice that a country that produces a 0.8 percent. the global carbon footprint is the 8th most climate stress country on the planet, and is disproportionately affected by climate change. the 33000000 people are

playing with their lives and their livelihoods, with the industrialization or richer countries. and therefore, this is a global problem of cooked sort of global actions. we hope that it also has global solutions, despite the incredible difficulties that everybody is facing at this. well, that interview also touched on pakistan's position on the war in ukraine. later today, the un general assembly will debate a draft resolution condemning russia's rates and annexations of 4 ukrainian regions . like it may be, india, pakistan has been steadfastly neutral on russia's invasion. my colleague richard walker asked the foreign minister of pakistan whether it was time to come off the fence. as far as our position within the war of ukraine is concerned that we've been consistent as far as un resolutions are concerned. as far as international law is concerned, but as far as us actually proactively taking sides are within this conflict, this large bipartisan support within

a pakistan for pakistan to remain neutral. it's very difficult to convince the people of pakistan that when there's an issue of international law when this issue of un resolutions in kashmir, this very same countries take a neutral position and then expect the rest of us to fall in line with the matters to them we also have challenges from the eval honest on fall out another nato conflict that ended on our border without consulting consulting us or significant engagement with the civilian prior civilian government and understand that is now resulted in a taliban interim government interval honest on with implications directly for us on our border, and once again, it's not something that sort of far away from us enough for us to wash our hands and turn our backs on. so it's very, very difficult in a domestic political context to expect our people to take

a stance when there is not that consistency. pakistan's foreign minister bill awhile bhutto the diary you can find the full interview on our youtube channel d w. news. ah, well, the world is already on age over roches threats to use nuclear weapons in ukraine. and today north korea through itself into the mix state media reports that recent miss our launches were tactical, nuclear drills to quote, hit and wipe out targets in south korea. pyongyang fired to more ballistic missiles early on sunday. it was the 7th launch of its kind in less than 3 weeks. north korean leader kim jong owned personally, supervising the latest miss. i launches state media now safety the simulations for battle field nuclear weapons designed to hit and destroy targets in south korea.

last week, an intermediate range missile that flew over japan was 1st claimed to be an arrow. but now north korea sees these were also tactical drills. they triggered air raid sirens and parts of japan urging people to take shelter and later evacuate. oh, but i don't know if the messiah can boast over japan. when you open, that means it can land in japan any time in the us have condemned with aggression by north korea. in this is the 39th are ballistic missile that it's pure k has, has launched in 2022 and this kind of continued action. not only is that a lawful it is d, stabilizing to the region, and the whole international community, the u. s. and south korea have been running joint military drills,

not korea sees its own tests, are in response to that. chinese officials say the u. s. is only raising tensions in the region. well, michelle, when you, when we're got a u. s. is claimed by double standard of gauging and political maneuvering, while poisoning the security, environmental cuban detentions on the peninsula shouldn't come as a surprise. but for now, a lowering of tensions seems unlikely, which not korea declaring itself and is reversible nuclear power. thanks for watching this more anti w dot com, forward slash asia at dw news, and i am at john underscore rate c. tomorrow. friday, august 21 at the global media form 2022 river to go to the state african on the cross with we to work with creatives from africa. think
