The star actress of Hollywood is also expected to raise the issue of emergency assistance needed for the people of Pakistan in the international arena.

On September 10, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres visited Pakistan's flood-affected areas. Later, he also called on the international resources to stand by the country to overcome this terrible flood situation. The Pakistani government says that this year's catastrophic floods have caused an estimated 30 billion dollars in damage to the country. Pakistan and the United Nations believe that due to global climate change, this time we have to witness such a terrible form of flooding.
The UN Secretary-General says the international community must do more to help countries most affected by the effects of climate change. He said, today it is in Pakistan - tomorrow wherever you are, it could be in your own country. This is actually a global crisis. It also requires a global response.
It should be noted that Pakistan has been hit by severe floods since last June due to heavy rains. One-third of the country is under water. Millions of people were forced to leave their homes and take shelter elsewhere due to the situation. The country's government says that about 33 million people in the country have been affected by the floods. The country's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has commented that a part of Pakistan felt like a 'sea' due to floods. According to him, you will not believe the amount of damage caused by the flood until you see it. As far as the eye can see, only water and water. It looks like the whole is an ocean.
