Horrific footage and photos show the extent of the devastation caused by monsoon rains and flooding #Pakistan. Millions displaced, hundreds killed/injured. The financial loss is huge and impossible for the poor country to bear. #PakistanFloods

As reported earlier in Pakistan, 126 people died in two days as a result of flood-related incidents. Most of the victims are women and children.
Let’s add that India is also suffering from “big water”. There, floods and landslides triggered by heavy monsoon rains have killed at least 50 people in three days.
