US delivers flood aid as Pakistan battles surging rivers, braces for new monsoon spell
ISLAMABAD/KARACHI: Pakistan received emergency supplies from the United States on Saturday as devastating floods battered Punjab, with three major rivers flowing from India surging at multiple points and forecasters warning of fresh torrential rains until Sept. 9. Home to half of Pakistan’s 240 million people and much of its wheat and rice production, Punjab has been hit hardest by this year’s monsoon as nearly 50 people have died in the current Ravi-Sutlej-Chenab flood spell that started late last month, bringing the seasonal death toll in the province to 231 since June.
