Dozens of districts submerged by the rains, killing at least 437 people since the middle of June and forcing the evacuation of thousands. Quetta, Pakistan – Naimatullah was sleeping with his family members when the floods entered their mud house in Gandawa, a small town in Jhal Magsi district of Pakistan’s Balochistan province in the remote southwest. Large parts of the South Asian nation, home to 220 million people, have been hit by flash floods and landslides caused by heavy monsoon rains, inundating homes, bridges and roads. Jhal Magsi, 345km from Balochistan’s capital Quetta, is among dozens of Pakistani districts that were submerged by the rains, killing at least 437 people since the middle of June and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people, according to officials. “The rains have not only affected Balochistan but the entire country and the governments are fully engaged with all available resources to rescue people and provide them relief,” Sharif said during his visit on Saturday.
