Known as the "Eternal City," Rome is a place where ancient history, vibrant culture, and modern life intertwine seamlessly. From the grandeur of the Colosseum to the spiritual majesty of the Vatican, Rome offers a wealth of experiences that leave visitors in awe. This article delves into the city’s iconic landmarks, its Mediterranean climate, and the must-see attractions that make Rome a timeless destination.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">A Walk Through History: Rome’s Iconic Landmarks</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Rome’s history is etched into its streets, buildings, and monuments, offering a journey through time for those who explore its treasures. The Colosseum, perhaps the most iconic symbol of Rome, is a marvel of ancient engineering. Built in 80 AD, this massive amphitheater once hosted gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, and theatrical performances. Today, it stands as a powerful reminder of the grandeur of the Roman Empire. Walking through its arches and imagining the roar of the crowd is an experience that transports you back in time.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Just a short distance from the Colosseum lies the Roman Forum, the heart of ancient Rome. This sprawling archaeological site was once the center of political, religious, and social life. Strolling through the ruins of temples, basilicas, and government buildings, you can almost hear the echoes of senators debating and citizens going about their daily lives. The Arch of Septimius Severus and the Temple of Saturn are among the many highlights of this historic site.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">No visit to Rome is complete without a trip to the Pantheon, one of the best-preserved ancient Roman buildings. Originally built as a temple to all the gods, the Pantheon is renowned for its massive dome and oculus, which allows natural light to flood the interior. The sheer scale and precision of its construction are awe-inspiring, and it remains a functioning church to this day.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Another must-see landmark is the Trevi Fountain, the largest Baroque fountain in Rome. This stunning masterpiece, adorned with intricate sculptures and cascading water, is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. Legend has it that tossing a coin into the fountain ensures a return to Rome, making it a ritual for many visitors.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">For those interested in art and history, the Vatican City, an independent city-state within Rome, is a treasure trove of cultural and religious significance. St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in the world, is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. Its awe-inspiring dome, designed by Michelangelo, offers panoramic views of the city. The Vatican Museums house an unparalleled collection of art, including the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s ceiling frescoes are a sight to behold.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">The Climate of Rome: A Mediterranean Paradise</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Rome enjoys a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The city’s weather is one of its many charms, making it a year-round destination for travelers.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Summer in Rome, from June to August, is warm and sunny, with temperatures often reaching the mid-30s Celsius (mid-90s Fahrenheit). The city comes alive during this season, with outdoor cafes, bustling piazzas, and lively festivals. However, the heat can be intense, so it’s advisable to stay hydrated and seek shade during the peak afternoon hours. Early mornings and evenings are the best times to explore the city’s landmarks and enjoy the vibrant street life.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Autumn, from September to November, is one of the best times to visit Rome. The weather is pleasantly warm, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20s to low 30s Celsius (70s to 80s Fahrenheit). The summer crowds begin to thin, making it easier to explore the city’s attractions. The autumn light casts a golden glow over Rome’s ancient ruins and cobblestone streets, creating a magical atmosphere.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Winter in Rome, from December to February, is mild compared to many other European cities. Temperatures typically range from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius (40s to 50s Fahrenheit), and while rain is more frequent, snow is a rare occurrence. Winter is an excellent time to visit if you prefer fewer tourists and a more relaxed pace. The city’s Christmas markets, festive decorations, and cozy trattorias add to its charm during this season.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Spring, from March to May, is another ideal time to visit Rome. The city awakens with blooming flowers, and the weather is comfortably warm, with temperatures ranging from the mid-teens to low 20s Celsius (60s to 70s Fahrenheit). Spring is perfect for leisurely strolls through Rome’s parks and gardens, such as the Villa Borghese, and for enjoying outdoor dining at the city’s many cafes.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Exploring Rome’s Hidden Gems</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">While Rome’s iconic landmarks are undoubtedly breathtaking, the city is also home to numerous hidden gems that offer a more intimate and authentic experience. The Trastevere district, located on the west bank of the Tiber River, is a charming neighborhood known for its narrow cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and lively atmosphere. This bohemian enclave is filled with artisan shops, traditional trattorias, and cozy wine bars. It’s the perfect place to wander aimlessly, soak in the local vibe, and enjoy a plate of authentic Roman pasta.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Another lesser-known treasure is the Aventine Keyhole, located on the Aventine Hill. This unassuming keyhole in the door of the Priory of the Knights of Malta offers a unique and perfectly framed view of St. Peter’s Basilica in the distance. It’s a delightful surprise that captures the essence of Rome’s ability to blend the ordinary with the extraordinary.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">For art enthusiasts, the Galleria Doria Pamphilj is a hidden gem that often goes unnoticed by tourists. This private art gallery houses an impressive collection of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts, including works by Caravaggio, Velázquez, and Bernini. The opulent interiors of the palace provide a glimpse into the lives of Rome’s aristocracy.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">The Culinary Delights of Rome</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Rome is a paradise for food lovers, offering a culinary scene that is deeply rooted in tradition. Roman cuisine is characterized by its simplicity and reliance on fresh, high-quality ingredients. A visit to Rome is incomplete without indulging in classic dishes such as carbonara, cacio e pepe, and supplì (fried rice balls). The city’s pizzerias serve up thin, crispy pizzas that are a far cry from the heavy, doughy versions found elsewhere.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">The Campo de’ Fiori market is a great place to sample local produce, cheeses, and cured meats. In the evening, the square transforms into a lively hub of bars and restaurants, where you can enjoy a glass of wine and people-watch to your heart’s content.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">For dessert, gelato is a must-try.

From the ancient fortifications of Valletta to the quiet, sunlit alleys of the countryside, every corner of Malta was bathed in a subtle interplay of nature’s elements, inviting its inhabitants to pause and appreciate the day’s transient magic.In Valletta, the heart of Malta’s rich history and vibrant culture, early risers were greeted by a cool, misty morning. As dawn broke, the temperature registered at a refreshing 11°C (52°F), and a soft haze draped over the city’s baroque facades and narrow, winding streets. The gentle drizzle that accompanied the break of day lent an ethereal quality to the historic capital; each raindrop shimmered like a tiny jewel against the ancient stone walls. The air, tinged with the unmistakable scent of the nearby Mediterranean, carried whispers of bygone eras and promised a day of gentle evolution.As the hours advanced, Valletta slowly emerged from its foggy cocoon. By mid-morning, the thermometer in the city nudged upward to a pleasant 15°C (59°F), a mild warmth that softened the early chill. The persistent clouds began to part in fleeting moments, allowing bursts of sunlight to spill over the skyline and dance upon the shimmering pavements. These ephemeral rays highlighted the intricate details of historic landmarks and transformed everyday scenes into living canvases of light and shadow. Locals strolled along the bustling streets with a serene smile, their footsteps echoing softly against the backdrop of an ever-changing sky.Traveling along the coast to the charming district of Sliema, the narrative of the day took on a slightly different hue. Here, the Atlantic’s embrace was palpable from the outset. In the early hours, Sliema recorded a temperature of around 12°C (54°F), with a light, persistent drizzle that lent a gentle gloss to the promenade. The rhythmic lull of the waves mingled with the patter of rain, creating a soothing cadence that resonated with both locals and visitors alike. By midday, as the skies intermittently cleared, temperatures crept up to approximately 16°C (61°F), and the sea glistened under the soft caress of the sun’s occasional rays. This interplay between the cool, moist air and the warming light crafted a mesmerizing mosaic—a living tapestry of nature’s artistry.Venturing inland to the ancient walled city of Mdina, often referred to as the “Silent City,” the atmosphere was steeped in a contemplative tranquility. The day in Mdina began with a measured chill of about 11°C (52°F), the narrow, labyrinthine streets cloaked in a gentle mist. Here, time seemed to slow, each moment stretched out like a long-forgotten memory. As the day unfolded, intermittent showers left delicate trails upon the centuries-old stone, accentuating the city’s timeless allure. By the early afternoon, a modest warmth had set in, with temperatures stabilizing near 14°C (57°F), offering a quiet contrast to the cool morning and a soft reminder of the enduring passage of time.Beyond the urban heartbeat, Malta’s rural landscapes told a story of peaceful resilience. In the rolling olive groves and vineyard-dotted hills of the countryside, the day began at a slightly cooler 10°C (50°F), with a soft drizzle that nourished the fertile soil. As the sun ascended, its rays wove through the sparse clouds, raising the temperature gradually to around 15°C (59°F) by noon. In these quiet settings, nature seemed to partake in an intimate dance—the gentle wind rustling through the leaves, the soft patter of rain on ancient earth, and the occasional clear patch of sky that heralded a transient burst of sunlight. This harmonious blend of elements painted a portrait of serene continuity, a reminder of nature’s cyclical rhythm and its quiet, unwavering strength.As the afternoon gave way to evening, the interplay of sun and rain continued to enchant. In Valletta and across the island, the sky deepened into a rich canvas of soft grays and muted blues. The once intermittent rain subsided into a fine mist, and the temperature, having reached its zenith earlier, gently receded to a comfortable 12°C (54°F). The fading light, tempered by the lingering moisture in the air, created long, languid shadows that stretched over ancient fortifications and modern terraces alike.

Her dwelling, a humble cottage nestled amongst the ancient oaks, was a sanctuary of herbal remedies and whispered secrets. She possessed a profound kinship with the land, understanding its subtle shifts and changes, particularly the unpredictable nature of the weather.As the winter solstice approached, a chilling unease settled over the village. The usual patterns of the seasons were disrupted; the snow fell with an unnatural intensity, and the winds carried a haunting melody. Elara, her gaze fixed on the turbulent skies, felt a deep resonance with the land’s distress, a sense that an ancient imbalance was stirring.She consulted her folio, searching for clues in the faded ink and timeworn parchment. She discovered tales of a forgotten ritual, a ceremony performed during the solstice to maintain the delicate balance between the physical and spiritual realms. A shadowy entity, known as the Icebound Spectre, threatened to disrupt this balance, plunging the village into an eternal winter.Elara knew that she had to act, to protect her home from the encroaching darkness. She ventured into the labyrinthine ice caves beneath the frozen peaks, seeking the source of the disturbance. The caves, a network of winding tunnels and hidden chambers, were a vestige of a forgotten era, their walls adorned with intricate ice formations.Deep within the caves, she found a hidden chamber, its air thick with a chilling mist. In the center of the chamber, she discovered a frozen heart, its surface shimmering with an unnatural luminescence. The heart, she realized, was the source of the disturbance, a conduit through which the Icebound Spectre was manipulating the elements.Elara knew that she had to create a counter-force, a remedy to counteract the Spectre's influence. She gathered rare herbs and crystals, their luminescence a beacon in the darkness. She combined these ingredients with her knowledge of ancient rituals, creating a potent salve, a symbol of the village’s resilience.As the solstice reached its peak, the Icebound Spectre attempted to solidify its hold on the village, freezing the very essence of life. Elara, her resolve unwavering, applied the salve to the frozen heart, its light erupting in a dazzling display, melting the icy surface.She then began an ancient incantation, her voice echoing through the icy halls. The incantation wove together the power of the herbs, the energy of the crystals, and the spirit of the land.From the thawed heart, delicate blossoms emerged, an ephemeral display of vibrant color amidst the frozen landscape. They were Frost Flowers, rare blooms that appeared only during the solstice, symbols of hope and resilience.The Icebound Spectre’s icy grip weakened, its power diminished. The chilling mist dissipated, replaced by a warm, golden glow. The Frost Flowers, their luminescence glowing brightly, radiated their healing energy throughout the caves.Elara emerged from the caves, her heart filled with peace. She knew that the village was safe, its life protected by her courage and her wisdom. The Spectre's influence was ephemeral, a fleeting chill that had been banished by the enduring warmth of hope.The village, though scarred by the storm, was filled with a renewed sense of strength. The villagers, witnessing Elara’s bravery, understood the importance of resilience and the power of ancient knowledge. Elara added the events of the solstice to her folio, a testament to the enduring spirit of her people, and the ephemeral beauty of the Frost Flowers, a symbol of life's resilience against the harshest weather.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://29-weather.blogspot.com/feeds/1730430080745623396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://29-weather.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-apothecarys-solstice-folio-tapestry.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8889710179673963187/posts/default/1730430080745623396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8889710179673963187/posts/default/1730430080745623396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://29-weather.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-apothecarys-solstice-folio-tapestry.html' title='The Apothecary's Solstice Folio: A Tapestry of Weathered Resilience'/><author><name>radio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08078943990639274377</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889710179673963187.post-5272989102502686049</id><published>2022-09-03T09:31:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2022-09-03T09:31:40.257-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pakistan floods: Government appeals for more help to aid 33M affected</title><content type='html'>&nbsp;Pakistan on Saturday appealed to the international community for a "massive humanitarian response" to the unprecedented floods that have killed at least 1,265 people. This request was made while the planes were transporting the necessary materials to this poor country by humanitarian plane. Union Planning Minister Ehsan Iqbal called for "massive humanitarian aid to the 33 million people" affected by the monsoon rains, which caused massive floods. The international community's attention to Pakistan's plight increased as the number of dead and homeless increased. According to previous government estimates, the rains and floods caused $10 billion in damage. "The scale of the disaster is huge and requires massive humanitarian aid for 33 million people. To this end, I am asking my fellow Pakistanis, Pakistani immigrants and the international community to help Pakistan in this hour of need." According to the UN, many officials and experts believe that climate is the cause of unusual floods and monsoons. Earlier this week, he called the world, including UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, to stop "sleepwalking" into the deadly crisis. He will travel to Pakistan on September 9 to visit flood-affected areas and meet with Pakistani officials. Earlier this week, the United Nations and Pakistan jointly appealed for $160 million in emergency funding to help millions of people affected by floods that damaged more than a million homes. Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority said in its latest report on Saturday that another 57 people died in flood-hit areas. That brings the total number of people who have died since the onset of monsoon rains in mid-June to 1,265, including 441 children. Earlier, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif's plea for help prompted a swift response from the international community, which sent planes with humanitarian aid. A French plane carrying relief equipment landed in Islamabad on Saturday and was met by the Minister of National Health Abdul Qadir Patel. The arrival of this French aircraft followed the ninth flight from the United Arab Emirates and the first flight from Uzbekistan. These flights are the last flights to land in Islamabad at night. Aid sent from France included medicine and large hydration pumps to lower the water level, Patel said. According to him, France also sent a group of doctors and specialists. Pakistan established a National Flood Relief and coordination center for the distribution of aid to the victims. Iqbal controls the military center. The foreign minister said, "This season, monsoon rains have passed in most parts of Balochistan and Sindh and some provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. The Gilgit-Baltistan region has also been affected. Heavy rains and subsequent flooding caused extensive damage to infrastructure, roads, electricity and communication networks. Iqbal said that the government is trying to restore normalcy in the country as soon as possible, but the government of Pakistan cannot do it alone. Major General Zafar Iqbal, head of the flood relief center, said in a press conference that 29 flights from Turkey, United Arab Emirates, China and Qatar have arrived in Pakistan with relief aid in the last 4 days. , Uzbekistan, Jordan, Turkmenistan, etc.&nbsp;Read more:&nbsp; https://globalnews.ca/news/9104465/pakistan-appeals-for-more-aid-flooding/ </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://29-weather.blogspot.com/feeds/5272989102502686049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://29-weather.blogspot.com/2022/09/pakistan-floods-government-appeals-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8889710179673963187/posts/default/5272989102502686049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8889710179673963187/posts/default/5272989102502686049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://29-weather.blogspot.com/2022/09/pakistan-floods-government-appeals-for.html' title='Pakistan floods: Government appeals for more help to aid 33M affected'/><author><name>radio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08078943990639274377</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
