Pakistan Floods: Government Declares National Emergency
Monsoons Bring Misery to Millions in Pakistan
BBC News 27 Aug 2022
Millions of people have been affected by floods in Pakistan, hundreds have been killed, and the government has declared a national emergency.
On Friday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said 33 million people had been hit by the floods - around 15% of the population.
The country has appealed for more international aid, and Mr Sharif has held a meeting with foreign ambassadors in Islamabad.
Southern Pakistan has been hardest hit by the rains - particularly Sindh which has received nearly eight times its average August rainfall.
