Jacobabad, Pakistan was named the world's hottest city in May after extreme heat (124°F). Now, it's flooded after extreme monsoon rains. A teacher says many of her students are homeless and will miss months of school: "People had heatstroke, now people have lost their homes."

Floods in Pakistan killed at least 1,191 people, including 380 children — one woman saw her grandchild swept away as she slept. Rains are up to 28x above average. Villages are still swamped. Officials say Pakistan is a "fully soaked sponge" with nowhere for water to go.

Coming back home from a FANTASTIC two-day residential with @KnowledgeEquity. The central learnings from these days are the relevance of collaboration, the (non-tokenistic) role of lived experience, fabulous colleagues in the migration/refugee sector and the incredible views.
