    Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai on Wednesday arrived at the flood-hit Chandan area of Sindh to raise awareness about the plight of the victims affected by the climate crisis.

    The 25-year-old girls' education activist is accompanied by Sindh Health Minister Azra Fazal Pechuho, Education Minister Sardar Shah and singer-turned-activist Shehzad Roy.

    Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah, while appreciating Malala's visit, said that this will raise awareness regarding the humanitarian crisis in the province internationally.

    Pakistan witnessed more than usual monsoon showers this season that sparked countrywide flooding and left a third of the nation underwater, causing damage to standing crops and roads and rail tracks in Sindh and Balochistan.

    The Nobel laureate had arrived in Karachi a day earlier and is expected to extend assistance from the Malala Fund for flood relief.
