Islamabad, Sep 4
At least 883 people have died and nearly 1,200 others have been injured since late June as torrential monsoon rains unleashed devastation across Pakistan, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
Since late Wednesday, rain-triggered incidents claimed the lives of two more children, one in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and another in Islamabad, local media reported on Thursday.
The NDMA on Wednesday, through its National Emergencies Operation Centre (NEOC), announced a new alert warning of possible rainfall in multiple regions of Pakistan over the next 12 to 24 hours.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Punjab provinces have been hit the hardest, bearing the brunt of the disastrous heavy downpours.
