2. Pakistan: the Indus river between Sukkur and Rohri.

3. Sukkur and Rohri on the Indus river, Pakistan.

4. Lansdowne bridge and Ayub arch bridge over the Indus River, near the cities of Sukkur and Rohri, Sindh Province, not far upstream from the Sikkur Barrage.

5. Sukkur, Pakistan. This image was taken during the summer 2005 flooding. The island is connected via the Sukkur bridge (north) and the Landsdowne bridge (south). Southwest of the island is the Tomb of the 7 Sisters, a female-only allowed shrine to a group of 7 pious sisters who took refuge in a cave and then prayed to Allah to be saved from dishonor by a group of drunken soldiers. Allah responded by causing a cave-in and killing them before the soldiers could get to them.

    Un pensamiento de fraternidad para toda la gente que ha sufrido de las intensas inundaciones. Es hora de tomar acciones fuertes contra el cambio climático.
