Floods and torrential rains kill at least 30 in Pakistan


Pakistani authorities reported on Friday that floods caused by heavy rains have resulted in at least 30 deaths and caused significant damage over the past week.

According to Reuters, Lahore, the second-largest city in Pakistan, experienced rainfall levels not seen in over four decades.

The floods and landslides marked the beginning of the wind and rain season in Southeast Asia over the past week, leading to the deaths of at least 195 people, with around 200 still missing in the neighboring disaster-stricken India.

Torrential rains have hit northern Pakistan, causing floods, building collapses, and increased lightning risks.

International organizations like the United Nations consider Pakistan among the countries most vulnerable to extreme weather and climate changes. The floods in 2022 caused widespread chaos in Pakistan, killing over 1,700 people and displacing millions.
