Islamabad: Flash floods and heavy rain in Pakistan have killed 64 people and injured 117 in a week, a government agency said Wednesday. The devastating weather conditions have severely impacted various regions across the country, causing significant loss of life and property.
According to Emirates News Agency, the highest toll was recorded in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where 23 individuals, including 10 children, lost their lives. The Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) reported these figures, highlighting the region's vulnerability to extreme weather events.
The NDMA further stated that low to moderate rainfall is expected to persist until July 5. Following this period, an active southwest monsoon system, combined with a westerly wave, is anticipated to enter the country. This weather system is likely to bring moderate to heavy rainfall and localized thunderstorms, potentially exacerbating the existing situation.
