At least 72 people lost their lives and 130 nationals were injured through Pakistan in separate incidents that occurred due to sudden floods and heavy rains of this monsoon season, said National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in its 10 -day data.
Statistics showed the growing number of deaths from June 26 to July 6, the greatest number of deaths recorded in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
In the past 10 days, KP has recorded 28 deaths, followed by 22 in Punjab, 15 in Sindh, seven in Balutchistan and four in Azad Jammu- & Cachemir (AJK).
It included six deaths related to rain in the last 24 hours, including four from KP and two from the Sindh, while a total of 3 people were injured in separate incidents of sudden floods, collapse of the house, lightning and drowning.
At least 161 houses were damaged and 91 cattle were swept away in monsoon spells. During this period, the emergency intervention agency led 19 rescue operations and saved 233 people, in addition to distributing essential elements to affected nationals.
As the monsoon activity should intensify across the country, the National Emergency Operation Center (NEOC) of the NDMA has published an alert concerning heavy rain and potential floods until July 10.
The alert highlighted the river and potential streams in several regions, including Punjab, Sindh, Balutchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan. In particular, low -level floods are expected at the Marala and Qadirabad points on the Chenab river.
The main rivers, including Indus, Chenab, Swat, Panjkora, Chitral, Hunza and the various local sailing sailors, can attend an increase in water levels, said NDMA, adding that sudden floods are also feared in northeast Punjab, especially in streams from Pirjal.
In AJK, the Jhelum river and its tributaries can be flooded, while Gilgit-Baltistan can attend an increase in water flow in the Hunza river and surrounding streams.
In southern Balutchistan, the risks of flooding are associated with the streams which arise from the mountain range of Kirthar, with a particular concern for the districts of Awaran, Khuzdar, Jhal Magsi, Qila Saifullah and Musakhel.
