&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Most of the hill torrents that originated from Balochistan’s Koh-e-Suleman range have become ferocious after a heavy spell of monsoon rains in the region.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Torrents raging with heavy flood flow inflicted heavy losses to the nearby settlements damaging homes, cattle and crops in Suhbat area of the province.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--facebook  media__item--relative'&gt;&lt;div class="fb-video" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/aajtv0/videos/745986339964251/?t=3" data-width="auto"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thousands of families have been affected by the rain-triggered flash floods and the people trapped in floods are waiting for rescue and relief.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the people have demanded the government to provide food and medicines during this difficult time to the affected families.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Over 900 people killed in rain-related incidents across the country&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Torrential rains lashed several cities in the country, leaving at least 903 people dead and 1,293 injured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sharing the number of deaths and injuries in a tweet, Federal Minister for Climate Change Sherry Rehman said that 326 who died during the rain-related incidents were children and 191 were women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rehman said that the country was facing devastation on account of monsoon-induced flash floods, adding that flash floods left thousands of people homeless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She noted that the local administrations and provinces needed more resources to deal with the catastrophe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sherry said that the record spell of rain led to the humanitarian crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb appealed the nation to donate their funds to PM Flood Relief Fund, adding that the State Bank of Pakistan has issued a circular allowing all commercial banks to receive the donations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The minister, in a statement, said that overseas Pakistanis could also donate their funds in the fund.&lt;/p&gt;
