Floods in Pakistan’s Sindh province left more than 80 people dead and forced at least 4 million more from their homes as rains that began Aug. 31 destroyed entire villages, the government said.
“Some areas have received as much as 550 millimeters of rainfall, which is the highest in the last 10 years,” Sindh’s information minister, Sharjeel Memon, said by phone from the provincial capital of Karachi. Pakistan’s meteorological office predicts the weather system will persist for two more days, inundating the same areas again.
