Pakistan floods: Government declares national emergency – BBC News


Millions of people have been affected by floods in Pakistan, hundreds have been killed, and the government has declared a national emergency.

On Friday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said 33 million people had been hit by the floods – around 15% of the population.

The country has appealed for more international aid, and Mr Sharif has held a meeting with foreign ambassadors in Islamabad.

Southern Pakistan has been hardest hit by the rains – particularly Sindh which has received nearly eight times its average August rainfall.
