Pakistan is calling on Western nations to help after floods linked to climate change left millions homeless.

It could take years for families in areas hit by the floods to return to the lives they lostMonths on from devastating floods in Pakistan, millions of people remain homeless, roads are destroyed and tens of thousands of schools and hospitals lie in ruins.

As the water pounded on their mud brick house in the south-western province of Balochistan, Abdul feared the structure was about to collapse completely.Just before they departed, Abdul went back in to get something. He never came back, Hanifa says. "We ended up burying him at the mosque." Weak, not just from the weight of grief, but also from hunger, she was staying in a relief camp close to the city of Quetta when the BBC interviewed her."He is always in my heart."Najma's is one of more than 25,000 schools that were damaged or destroyed in the floods

Going to school as a girl was already a feat in itself. In socially conservative parts of Balochistan, many families don't allow their daughters to attend classes. "My three-year-old daughter keeps asking me when we she can move back into her bedroom," he says, before gesturing to the space where it once stood.
