Several villages and standing crops on vast areas in the Salehpat tehsil of Sukkur remained inundated by heavy rains and the rainwater coming down the hills, while the affected haven’t received any help as yet.

Hundreds of mud houses and standing crops on thousands of acres of land have been washed away in Dadu and Nawabshah, Nausehro Feroze, Larkana, Qambar, Shahdadkot and Ghotki.
