Flooding in Pakistan has already claimed nearly 1,400 lives and caused $10bn in damage.

The United Nations and the government of Pakistan have jointly appealed for "an immense humanitarian response" to help the country.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has given the flooding a grade three emergency rating - its highest level - and have announced the immediate release of $10 million from their emergency fund to help.

WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Almost one third of the country is under water.

In Balochistan province, people are being rescued by helicopter and taken to relief camps.

Irfan Ali was one of those rescued.

People have lost their homes, livelihoods and their crops.

Imran Ali and his family have already been in the relief camp for two weeks; they're relying on the help provided there.

The monsoon rains, which started earlier than usual, are continuing at an unprecedented level.

According to scientists, the flooding is due to climate change, which impacts Pakistan more severely because of its geography, even though it produces less than one percent of the world's greenhouse gases.

The Director General of the WHO believes beyond the immediate emergency disaster measures, the world needs to take action on climate change.
