Flash flooding from ‘monster monsoon’ washes away villages and crops and leaves thousands homeless
Deaths from widespread flooding in Pakistan have passed 1,000 since mid-June, officials have said, as a minister called the country’s deadly monsoon season “a serious climate catastrophe”.
Flash flooding from the heavy rains has washed away villages and crops as soldiers and rescue workers evacuated stranded residents to the safety of relief camps and provided food to thousands of displaced Pakistanis.
