At least six killed, nine injured in Pakistan floods
At least six people have lost their lives and nine have been injured in monsoon rain-triggered flash floods during the last 24 hours in Pakistan, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said.
Three women and a child were among those who lost their lives in separate flood-related incidents, according to an NDMA report released on Monday.
The total death toll in Pakistan from this season’s monsoon rains and floods that started on June 25 has risen to around 86, along with 151 injured, the NDMA said.
The eastern Punjab province was the worst-hit region, where the death toll was 52, followed by northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 20.
The report further said that 97 houses were destroyed and 46 livestock animals perished in different parts of Pakistan.
Rescue and relief operations by the NDMA, other government organisations, volunteers, and non-governmental organisations were underway in the flood-hit areas.
