Floods in SINDH
Monsoon 2011
Heavy monsoon
rains continue to be recorded in Sindh and Balochistan with
widespread thunderstorms and heavy rains expected over Sindh
and eastern Balochistan in the next 24 hours. The number of
people affected by the monsoon rains reaches 5.3 million
Torrential
monsoon rains have pounded southern Pakistan, triggering
serious flooding affecting more than five million people,
among them communities still recovering from last year’s
extraordinary floods.
The situation
for those affected by recent monsoons and subsequent floods
is critical. Thousands of people are in urgent need of
assistance due to lack of food and safe drinking water, as
well as the loss of livelihoods and homes.
Sindh is by
far the worst affected province, with torrential rains in
the hardest hit areas having led to rainfall exceeding, in a
few days, what on average accumulates in an entire monsoon
season. The Government reports 22 out of 23 districts of
Sindh are covered in floodwater as well as some parts of
Balochistan Province. |
