Pakistan asked international community on Friday to help it deal with rising disaster of the current wave of rains and flood in the country in which more than 300 people have died, hundreds missing and at least 1 million homeless.
Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has requested United Nations and other international community for the urgent help in a country's worst flood for last 81 years, local Television Samma reported.
The government of Pakistan declared emergency in the northwestern province due to torrential rains and floods, which have claimed over 300 lives.
According to rescue teams hundreds of villages, bridges, roads and billions of dollars worth properties have been smashed in the rains and high current floods. Pakistan Navy, Air force, Pakistan Army and dozens of other civil and government rescue teams are busy in the affected areas but those seem insufficient.
