 At least 22 people have been killed in the natural disasters and torrential monsoon rains, which has led to increase water level in rivers, threatened streams and nullahs to overflow across the country.

In one of the worst cases reported recently, a four year old girl was killed and three members of her family were buried under the debris when the roof of their house fell off due to the constant rains in Sadiqabad.

In a small town of People’s Colony-II, Faisalabad a woman was killed, while her husband was critically injured after the private roof of their house collapsed due to rainfall. More alarming was the dilapidated house where four of a family perished in Pindi Gheb, Attock, while two others including a child sustained injuries when the rooftop caved in due to the heavy downpour.

A woman was killed on the spot and five of her children sustained severe injuries as the roof of their house collapsed in Baddani near Kashmore in Sindh.

In Mehar, Sindh, young girl child Naveeda Chandio age of 16 years died by the fallen roof of their house due to heavy rain for several hours. The roof fell in Jaccobabad as well, in yet another incident; a woman and her son were buried underneath the collapsed roofs, and a man died in Larkana as well.

Frequent storms have led to severe flooding in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). In Mohmand, which is located in the FATA region of Pakistan, water from the Shah Small Dam inundated the neighboring regions. The same picture can be seen in Khyber and South Waziristan where the normal life continues to be frozen. Precipitation started with over flowing in to the Tank Bazaar and traffic jams on the Pak-Afghan highway in Landikotal due to floating waters.
The situation is even worse in some places in Balochistan such as Zhob, Dera Bugti, Pishin, Ziarat, Chaman, Jafarabad, Nocuki and others where roads have been flooded while crops have been badly damaged.

This is especially witnessed in Dera Bugti and its suburbs where intermittent rain has been falling for the past three days and has disrupted all activities because different roads and localities are submerged under several feet of water.

Traffic was closed in Kohlu for the third day in a row on Sunday when the Kohlu-Sibi road link was breached by floods.

Some of the reported areas include ‘There are also reports of heavy rains from different areas of Sindh’.

All the areas of Shikarpur, Nawabshah, Khairpur, Larkana, Mohenjo-Daro, Naushero Feroze, Khairpur Nathan Shah, Qambar, Tangwani, Daharki, Jacobabad, and Hyderabad were flooded and many of the electricity feeders tripped due to heavy rain which continued for several hours.

In Khairpur it rained for more than half a day; there was blood stains on its floor at Civil Hospital there was water leakage in the Emergency Ward.

While in most of Karachi, it was only a shower, some localities recorded only light rains.

Heavy rain was also received from many parts of Punjab including Lahore, Sargodha, Jhang, Daska, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Shakargarh and Rawalpindi of Islamabad.

In Rawalpindi the water level of Nullah Lai has increased after the rainfall.
