As a result of massive floods in Pakistan over the past day, 119 people have died. The total death toll since the start of the rainy season has exceeded a thousand. The BBC reported it.
The floods that began in June have already killed 1,033 people, according to Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority. However, the number of victims of a natural disaster may be higher, because many people are considered missing.
According to Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, about 15% of the population – 33 million people – have been affected by the heavy floods in the country.
He also mentioned that each flood-affected family will receive 25,000 rupees ($112) in aid from the government.
