Hey @Google @Meta where are your “marked safe from floods” and “flood warnings” on your maps? Is that reserved only for the western countries?

This piece was hard to work on, and it was emotional. Senseless loss of life in children isn’t something anyone should just accept. Say their names, know their names. Produced with a fantastic team @LinahAlsaafin @haddadme @AJEnglish @ajlabs

Does being an ATM robber make it ok for police to beat the crap out of someone so much that they die? Is there any accountability for police brutality in Pakistan? ⁦ @ShireenMazari1 ⁩
