According to Geo TV, 123 people died in Punjab, 40 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 21 in Sindh, 16 in Balochistan, 1 in Islamabad and 1 in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Although the causes of death were different, it was reported that at least 118 people died due to house collapse and 30 people died due to flash floods. Apart from this, many people also died due to drowning, lightning and landslides.
More than 560 people were injured.
More than 560 people have been injured due to heavy rains, including 182 children. Flash floods in Rawalpindi engulfed homes, roads and markets and submerged entire neighborhoods. The water level rose dangerously. In some areas, the water reached above the roofs, forcing people to flee their homes.
The scene of devastation did not stop in Pakistan
Faisalabad has also suffered heavy losses. Here, 11 people died and 60 were injured in incidents in just two days. Most of the deaths were due to house collapse. At least 32 roads were washed away after rain in Chakwal. If a recent report by UN News is to be believed, more devastation is yet to happen in Pakistan as there is a possibility of floods due to the bursting of glacier lake in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit Baltistan areas.
