Authorities say more than 900 killed and 220,000 homes destroyed in worst monsoon rains disaster for a decade

Officials say this year’s floods are comparable to 2010 – the worst on record – when more than 2,000 people died and nearly a fifth of the country was underwater.

“I have never seen such huge flooding because of rains in my life,” an octogenarian farmer, Rahim Bakhsh Brohi, told Agence France-Presse near Sukkur, in the southern Sindh province.

Like thousands of others in rural Pakistan, Brohi was seeking shelter next to a national highway, as the elevated roads are among the few dry places to be found.
