Drowning prevention is needed in disaster planning

[Shirley Botchwey @SGCommonwealth]

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life caused by floods in Pakistan, especially the deaths of so many children.

My thoughts are with every affected community and family.

The Commonwealth family stands with Pakistan during this difficult time.
