Rebuilding lives after flooding in Pakistan

Bilawal, Sassi and Abdul Majeed’s lives were devastated by the floods in Pakistan this August. We hear their stories and speak to those attempting to rebuild communities.

Many communities in Pakistan were completely destroyed when vast areas of the country were hit by catastrophic flooding this summer. 33 million people were affected and in this episode of Business Daily we hear from three of them. Bilawal, Sassi and Abdul Majeed all lost everything in the floods and are now trying to rebuild their lives. We also hear from the charities and business leaders attempting to help rebuild communities, including Jemima Goldsmith, former wife of the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan and current UK ambassador for UNICEF.
