Flooding in Pakistan kills dozens as heavy monsoon rains batter the country
Parts of Pakistan's biggest city, Karachi, were flooded on Monday as heavy rainfall continued to lash the port city. Moderate to heavy showers over the past week have submerged various neighbourhoods, with water entering homes and shops in low-lying areas.
Intense floods killed dozens of people and left hundreds homeless in Pakistan, officials said on Saturday, as heavy monsoon rains battered the country.
Women and children are among the 57 killed in the southern province of Balochistan after being swept away in flood waters, according to Ziaullah Langove, the disaster and home affairs advisor to the province's chief minister. Langove added that eight dams had burst due to the heavy rains.
In 2010, the worst floods in the nation's memory affected 20 million people in Pakistan, with damage to infrastructure running into billions of dollars and huge swathes of crops destroyed as one-fifth of the country was inundated.
