Rescue Operations Continue in Pakistan as Almost 400 People Have Died as a Result of Flash Floods
The National Disaster Management Authority reported that almost 400 people had died as a result of last week’s flash floods, and rescue operations were still underway in Pakistan on Tuesday.
The northwest of the country was battered by torrential rain that started on Friday. Villages were wrecked by landslides and flooding, trapping many people beneath the debris. On Tuesday, local authorities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Buner area said that more than 150 individuals were remained missing.
After being delayed by recent rain, rescue and relief efforts started on Tuesday. To aid in recovery operations, authorities said that they had reopened damaged highways and restored 70% of the electricity.
According to Army spokesman Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif, engineers are fixing damaged infrastructure and military physicians are caring for survivors. Additionally, troops have used helicopters to transport supplies and food to isolated settlements that have been shut off by landslides and floods.
Since June 26, floods caused by higher-than-normal monsoon rainfall have killed over 700 people throughout Pakistan. This significant rain event has been exacerbated by climate change, according to a World Weather Attribution report released on August 6.
