Disaster relief officials in Pakistan issued fresh flood warnings on Sunday after the death toll from heavy monsoon rains rose to 45 and waters paralyzed parts of the country’s largest city Karachi.
Flash floods caused by monsoon downpours have inundated some main roads in the sprawling port city and swept away homes in the northwestern province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
The National Disaster Management Authority warned that more thunderstorms and heavy rains were expected on Monday and some rivers may flood.
