Karachi, au Pakistan
Torrential rains and flooding have killed another 24 people in Pakistan and its controlled part of Kashmir in the past 24 hours, local officials and media reported on Monday.
At least 10 people, more children and more, were killed and several more injured when the roof of a space collapsed Sunday night in the Rawlakot district of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, the regional government said.
A woman and her two underage daughters were killed when a roof collapsed in Mardan district of the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, local TV channel Dunya News reported.
A total of 12 other people died in rain-related injuries in the province in the past 24 hours.
Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the southern parts of Punjab provinces are the hardest-hit areas where heavy downpours and flash floods have forced tens of thousands of people from their homes for security reasons.
Rescuers subsidized by army troops are suffering to cope with the growing number of casualties due to incessant rains and flooding in various parts of Balochistan and southern Punjab, where other people have taken refuge in tents along major roads and high areas.
In Balochistan alone, some 145 people lost their lives in the monsoon wave that hit the province in June, according to the provincial crisis control authority.
