ISLAMABAD, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Torrential monsoon rains and associated incidents have left at least 124 people dead and 264 others injured across Pakistan over the past three weeks, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said Wednesday.
In its latest situation report, the NDMA said the casualties were recorded between June 26 and July 16, with eight new deaths and 11 injuries reported in the last 24 hours.
The eastern Punjab province was the worst affected, with 49 fatalities and 158 injuries, followed by the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province with 38 deaths and 57 injuries. The southern Sindh province reported 20 deaths and 40 injuries, while the southwestern Balochistan province recorded 16 fatalities and four injuries.
One death and five injuries were reported in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, while no casualties were recorded in northern Gilgit-Baltistan and the Islamabad Capital Territory, said the NDMA.
Pakistan experiences heavy monsoon rains from July to September each year, which often cause widespread flooding, infrastructure damage, and casualties, particularly in low-lying and rural areas.
Authorities have issued advisories and are working with provincial governments to coordinate relief and rescue efforts in the most affected regions. ■
