Since mid-June, there have been more than 1,000 casualties in Pakistan as a result of widespread floods, according to officials, who also described the deadly monsoon season as “a serious climate catastrophe.”
Soldiers and rescue workers evacuated stranded locals to safety in relief camps and offered food to hundreds of displaced Pakistanis as villages and crops were wiped away by flash flooding caused by the heavy rains.
The number of fatalities reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and southern Sindh provinces brought the total number of fatalities since the monsoon season started earlier than usual this year — in mid-June — to 1,033.
