The devastating floods that extended through Punjab, Sindh and the parts of the south of Pakistan continued to increase on Monday, leaving a generalized destruction, displacing millions and pushing the number of deaths throughout the country to almost 1,000. In Guddu Barge in the Kashmore-Kandhkot district, where the Indo River first enters Sindh, the authorities recorded a marginal decrease in flood levels, but the pressure was increasing in the bombing of Sukkur down Sukkur. The flow in Guddu, which stood at 635,759 CUSECs at 6 am, fell into more than 11,000 Cusecs in six hours, settling at 624,456 Cusecs at night. In comparison, on Sunday night he had registered 612,269 Cusecs. Despite the light flexibility, the evacuations of the river villages continued. Sukkur Barge reported 560,890 CUSECs for Monday night, a strong increase of 72,000 CUSECs in 24 hours. Kotri Barge also saw an increase, touching 284,325 Cusecs at night, although he remained at a low flood level. Irrigation officials said that until now infractions or embankment infractions had been reported, but river settlements and cultivation lands had been flooded. In Ghotki, Floodwaters entered the gas field of the Petroleum and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) in Qadirpur, forcing the suspension of 10 wells drilling. The company’s officials said the operations would resume once the water retreated. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis deepened in Punjab and Sindh. The heavy rains of the monsoon, along with the growing river flows devastated infrastructure, including a fine of the fine-sukkur M-5 highway near Jalalpur Pirwala. The laundry portion forced a complete closure, while emergency repairs on a bridge stopped due to dangerously strong currents. The collapse cut a vital transport route, which complicates the delivery of relief supplies. In Uch Sharif, a 100 -foot wide violation in a embankment unleashed torrents in residential areas and agricultural land, flooding the sanctuary of Mian Mouluk Shah Bukhari before extending to the surrounding villages. The victims also set up: a man was drowning in Muzafargarh, two children died in fine and four more perished in the Kohlu district of Baluchistan. According to the National Authority for Disaster Management (NDMA), the general number of deaths since the end of June reached 992, with 1,062 injured people and more than 4.5 million directly affected. Punjab has taken the worst part of the destruction. The Sutlej and Chenab rivers overflowed submerged dozens of villages. In Chishtian, 47 villages were put underwater, drowning 48,000 acres of farmland and cleaning sugar cane, rice, corn and sesame crops. MINCHINABAD saw 67 villages submerged in a 76 -kilometer belt, affecting more than 56,000 people. In Alipur, dozens of villages remain abandoned, with houses, schools and roads damaged out of repair. Residents complain about shortage and exploitation by private boat operators, some that charge up to RS40,000 to transport families and safety. In Uch Sharif, 36 villages were flooded, thousands of losses of lost farming land and the families went stranded. Sindh faces a parallel disaster. In Ghotki, cotton and sugarcane crops have been destroyed, and villagers forced to leave the houses, which leads cattle to a higher land in a last attempt to save livelihoods. Health officials warned about an imminent health crisis, issuing dengue alerts for Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad and Peshawar as stagnant water provided mosquito underpants. Hospitals have been ordered to remain on a maximum alert, and fumigation campaigns have been announced. Relief and rescue efforts continue but remain stretched. NDMA reports that more than 2.95 million people have been rescued throughout the country since June, with more than 151,000 housed in relief camps. More than 473,000 patients have received treatment in medical camps, but many communities remain cut, with transfer and ships the only means of access. Punjab Prime Minister Maryam Nawaz visited Alipur on Monday, supervising relief operations and personally distributing the aid. In an aid camp, it served meals, delivered compensation controls and secured long -term rehabilitation. The authorities informed him that almost 394,000 people in the Muzaffarhh district had only been affected. The survivors demanded an urgent action to repair the embankments and restore food and the shelter. Maryam praised the role of the Navy in rescue operations and announced the creation of a dedicated force of Wasa Punjab to improve the future response of floods. Separately, the Punjab Education Foundation approved RS5 billion to rehabilitate schools damaged by floods. At the national level, the Tarbela dam is at full capacity and the mangla dam with 95%. The Federal Flood Commission reported extensive damage since the end of June: 674 kilometers of roads, 239 bridges, 8,481 houses and more than 6,500 lost cattle. In addition to the crisis, the Department of Meteorology of Pakistan predicted a new period of heavy monsoon rains that begin on Tuesday (today) and last until September 19, with Rawalpindi, Lahore and Gujranwala between the areas at risk. Officials warn that new rains could trigger new floods in already devastated regions. For now, Punjab and Sindh residents, already mistreated by flood weeks, remain nervous, trying to save what they can, since they prepare for another wave.
