PAKISTAN’S medical system has been badly hit by weeks of flooding, with hundreds of health facilities damaged and tens of thousands of medical workers displaced, the prime minister said yesterday as the country braced for the spread of disease.

THE European Union says it will spend an extra €30m to fund emergency aid for victims of devastating floods in Pakistan.

A POWERFUL cyclone lashed Pakistan’s southern coast on yesterday, killing at least 14 people, leaving dozens more missing and forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes.
