Flash floods in Pakistan kill 550 people, damaging more than 46,200 houses. The army has set up aid and relief camps in flood-hit regions
Flash floods caused by abnormally heavy monsoon rains killed at least 549 people in Pakistan over the past month, with remote communities in the impoverished southwestern province of Balochistan among the hardest hit, a government agency said.
Aside from the fatalities, the flooding had damaged more than 46,200 houses, the National Disaster Management Authority said on Friday. But the Balochistan provincial government said it needed more funds and appealed to international organizations for assistance. Bezenjo said his province needed “huge assistance” from the government and from international aid agencies.
