      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The route from Karachi to Quetta has been cut off in the latest damage caused by monsoon rains in Balochistan.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People were stranded in Aurki, Lasbela.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So far, 50 people including men, women and children have been rescued from Karwan area of Lasbela district.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abdul Quddus Bizenjo expressed satisfaction over the rescue operation and appreciated PDMA for saving precious lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Chief Minister has also issued directives to use all-out resources to provide relief to the people stranded in flood-hit areas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said that saving precious human lives and bringing them to safe places was the first priority of the government.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The toll in these monsoon rains jumped to 104 with the addition of two children’s deaths in Musakhel and Dera Bugti.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PDMA’s teams rescued 50 people in Karwan, Bela and by evening moved towards Okrri Sukkan.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;figcaption class='media__caption  '&gt;Watch the PDMA rescue people in Bela&lt;/figcaption&gt;
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Provincial Disaster Management Authority said that women and children were among the 104 people killed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 more children, in Musakhel and Dera Bugti, died taking the toll to 104 by Monday&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;40 men, 30 women and 34 children are among the dead, said the PDMA&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The deaths occurred in Bolan, Quetta, Zhob, Dikki, Khuzdar, Kohlu, Kech, Mastung, Harnai, Qila Saifullah and Sibbi&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;61 people were injured&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;6,068 houses destroyed and damaged across the province&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;4 highways covering 565 km severely affected&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;712 livestock killed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;197,930 acres of standing crops, solar panels, tubewells and borings damaged&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the latest reports, the rains affected the eastern and northern districts of Lasbela, Pishin, Naseerabad, Sibbi, Bolan and Qila Saifullah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The provincial government requested people to avoid unnecessary movement.&lt;/p&gt;
