Heavy rain pounded much of the country on Friday after the government declared an emergency to deal with monsoon flooding it said had affected more than 30 million people.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Rs28 billion will be distributed among the victims, which has already been handed over to Benazir Income Support Programme. “This matter does not end here, as the rains continue, this amount will increase.”
The worst-hit areas are Balochistan and Sindh, but almost all of the country has suffered this year due to incessant rains and floods.
