Amongst the ongoing devastation caused by heavy rains and floods in different parts of Pakistan, the government on Thursday officially declared a "national emergency".
As per the latest data by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the rains and floods had so far killed 937 people and left at least 30 million without shelter, reports ANI.
Meanwhile, Sindh recorded the highest number of death as 306 people died due to floods and rain-related incidents from June 14 to date.
The abnormal increase in rainfall has generated flash floods across the country, particularly in the southern part of Pakistan, which remains inundated at the moment with 23 districts of Sindh being declared "calamity-hit".
