Pakistan: Karachi experiences worst floods in

almost a century, dozens dead
Pakistan's most populous city has been hit by its heaviest rainfall since records began in
1931. At least 41 people have died, while the toll could rise as rescuers struggle to reach
several neighborhoods. We karachi people we haven't received anything like that before and
our roads and sewerage system isn't strong enough to deal with this type of situation.
The pakistan city of Karachi has experienced its heaviest rains in almost a century, killing
dozens and leaving hundreds of thousands trapped, officials said Friday.

At least 41 people have died from the deluge, though the death toll is expected to rise once

rescuers reach several neighborhoods that were currently inaccessible.

The National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) fears hundreds of thousands to reach

out of people are still trapped in Pakistan's most populous city due to waterlogging in low-

lying slums.

The city, which is home to roughly 15 million people, has experienced its heaviest rainfall in a

single spell since 1931, according to Sindh's Meteorological chief Sardar Sarfraz.

604-mm rainfall was recorded in Karachi during August, breaking the years-long record of

heavy rains in the city during the month. The torrential rains have caused a disastrous

situation in Balochistan province where scores were left homeless after their houses were
swept away by flash floods triggered off by lashing rains.
