One hundred dead, one million homeless in Pakistan floods
Floods due to a cyclone and rain have left as many as 100 people dead in south-western Pakistan, a senior relief official said, as the government appealed for donations of tents to shelter about 1 million people left homeless by the flooding.
The deaths have occurred in the south-western province of Baluchistan since Tuesday, when Cyclone Yemyin and rains triggered floods across a vast area, said Tariq Ayub, Baluchistan’s home secretary, who is overseeing the flood relief operation.
