Pakistan flooding death toll tops 1,000 as rains continue to pour

Disaster Management Authority says 119 people died in the last 24 hours and several countries pledge emergency aid for flood victims.

The death toll from ravaging monsoon floods in Pakistan crossed 1,000 as several countries, including Qatar and Iran, pledged emergency support in the wake of a deluge described as a “humanitarian disaster of epic proportions”.

The toll since June has reached 1,033 with 119 people dying in the last 24 hours, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said on Sunday.

It warned of “very high” level flooding in some areas alongside the Kabul and Indus Rivers, particularly in Nowshera in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province and Kalabagh and Chashma in Punjab province.

Large parts of the country remain submerged — particularly the provinces of Balochistan, KP and Sindh in the south — as heavy rains continue to lash parts of the country. At least 347 people have died in Sindh followed by Balochistan (238) and KP (226).

The annual monsoon is essential for irrigating crops and replenishing lakes and dams across the Indian subcontinent, but each year it also brings a wave of destruction. This year, precipitation in some regions was 600 percent higher than average.

the decade is wreaking non-stop havoc throughout the country,

Officials say this year’s catastrophic flooding has affected more than 33 million people — one in seven Pakistanis — destroying crops, livestock, and nearly a million homes.

The NDMA said more than 809,000 hectares (two million acres) of cultivated crops have been wiped out, 3,451 kilometres (2,150 miles) of roads destroyed, and 149 bridges washed away.

so Pakistan is in deep trouble and devastation is rising day by day ,if you could help humanity ,do it make your count to help people .
