Aerial Footage Shows City Inundated by Heavy Rainfall in Pakistan's Sindh Province

Monsoon rains in Pakistan have left many cities inundated, killing dozens, according to local media.

The rains have killed at least 134 people across Pakistan since the monsoon season started in June. Many were crushed as homes collapsed, Dawn reported.

Last week, Karachi, the worst-hit city, was faced with record flooding. Pakistan’s Meteorological Department recorded 230.5 mm (about 9 inches) of rain in Karachi on August 27, the highest ever recorded in a single day. Rainfall in August is the highest since records began 89 years ago. Schools have been ordered to house displaced families whose homes have been damaged or are unreachable, Reuters reported.
