Balochistan’s provincial government says it needs more funding and has turned to international organizations for help.
Flooding caused by abnormally heavy monsoon rains has killed at least 549 people in Pakistan over the past month, with remote communities in the impoverished southwestern province of Balochistan the hardest hit. About this on Friday, August 5 tells Reuters.
“The country was hit by the worst floods in the last 30 years, triggered by abnormal monsoon rains – in July, the rains were 133% more than the average of the last three decades,” said agency.
It is indicated that in the southwestern province of Balochistan, which borders Iran and Afghanistan, 305% more rain fell than the average for the year.
In addition to the deaths, the flood damaged more than 46,200 homes in the country. Also, because of the rising tide, many communities were cut off from the rest of the world. People lack food.
The Pakistani government and army have set up relief camps in the flooded regions.
