The overflowing river flows at a frightening speed as if it would swallow everything up.



Neighboring buildings that may collapse at any time also appear at risk.



In the end, the house that was uprooted because it could not overcome the current collapses, causing dust and dirt.



All but one of the five brothers, who were waiting for a rescue helicopter in the rising water, lost their lives.



In Pakistan, where the rainy season began in mid-June, torrential rains continued for three months, killing more than 1,000 people and injuring 1,500.



In addition, landslides and torrential rains have damaged 1 million homes, leaving 30 million people displaced.



In particular, the damage was concentrated in the southeastern Sindh province, where it rained eight times more than usual, and most of the villages in the southwestern Baluchistan and northwestern Khyberpaktunkwa provinces were also flooded.



[Local residents: The water started to rise from the night, and I took refuge with my family to a higher place.

But I didn't even have time to take out the things in the house.]



The authorities are declaring a national emergency and dispatching military forces to the affected areas to rescue them, but it's not enough.



The authorities also appealed to the international community for help.



[Bilawal Bhutto Zardari/Pakistan Foreign Minister: This flood is completely devastating.

I have never seen a village destroyed or collapsed at this level before.]



Pakistan has recently suffered from a severe economic crisis, limiting its response, and there is concern that the damage will increase as heavy rain is expected to continue for the time being.
