A total of 44 bodies were recovered from different areas in flood-hit areas in Balochistan province on Saturday, BBC reported. Reports said that around 250 people are still missing.
An aid group said that relief activities could not be started in all affected areas but the army says that helicopters are busy in rescue and relief operations.
More than 150 people were reported to be missing in the worst hit Khuzdar region. Mir Khalid Bizenjo said that search for more bodies is continuing.
Qalat Neymatullah said standing crops and gardens were destroyed in the region. Provincial home minister Mir Shoaib Nowsherwani said that 70 per cent of Kharan city was inundated in flood water. Several villages were washed away in the floods, he said.
Reports of losses were also received from major cities including Noshki, Jaffarabad, Naseerabad and Dera Allah Yar. Many people have complained that they are not receiving aid. But provincial spokesman Raziq Bugti said the government is trying to provide relief goods to the affected people.
Meanwhile, Governor Balochistan Awais Ahmed here Saturday paid an aerial visit to rains and flood hit Jhal Magsi, Naseerabad, Bolan and Jaffarabad districts and reviewed relief and rescue operations in these areas.
Talking during the visit, he said the government has mobilised its all available resources for rescue and rehabilitation of the affected people. The district governments and the personnel of law enforcement agencies are also making strenuous efforts in this regard and due to their efforts thousands of stranded people in worst hit areas have been rescued and shifted to safer places, he said. He said the affectees are being ensured all the necessary facilities including food and medical treatment in the relief camps.
Directing for further expediting the relief activities, the Governor said the flood affectees should not feel themselves alone in this hour of need as the entire nation is standing beside them and ready to render every service for their early rehabilitation.
