14 % of Pakistan's population, so approximately 33 million people have been affected by the recent floods in Pakistan. Andrew Douglas-Clifford (Cartographer & Geospatial Analyst) created a map to compare these floods to the size of Aotearoa New Zealand. According to this map, this natural disaster in Pakistan in comparison would be the size of Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago regions combined. The idea of such a large-scale displacement is hard to comprehend on this side of the world.
