Pakistan Flood Watched thousands of victims of Pakistan flood, the government declares a state of emergency

 

Thousands of people living in flood-threatened areas of Pakistan have been ordered to evacuate. After visiting the flood-stricken areas, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said the "magnitude of the disaster" was greater than expected. Sharif's comments came during his visit to southern Pakistan, specifically the province of Sindh - where the average rainfall in August was eight times that of every year.
