Pakistan says 210,000 evacuated as army expands flood relief operations in Punjab
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s national disaster authority said on Wednesday 210,000 people had been evacuated from flood-hit areas as the army expanded its rescue and relief operations in Punjab, the country’s most populous province and currently the center of a flood emergency. Since the monsoon season began on June 26, more than 800 people have been killed across Pakistan. Officials say the worst spell of rains began on Aug. 15 and is still ongoing, with the latest surge of floodwaters in the Sutlej, Chenab and Ravi rivers turning Punjab into the hardest-hit region.
