Three days of heavy monsoon rains triggering flash floods have killed at least 50 people in various parts of Pakistan, SIA reports referring to AP.
Troops with boats rushed to a flood-affected district in the country's southern Sindh province on Sunday to evacuate people to safer places. Every year, many cities in Pakistan struggle to cope with the annual monsoon deluge, drawing criticism about poor planning. The monsoon season runs from July through September, during which swelling rivers cause damage to crops and infrastructure.
According to Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority, 19 people were killed in rain-related incidents in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, 12 in southern Sindh province, 8 in Punjab province and 10 in the country's scenic northern Gligit Baltistan region in the past three days.
