2013 Pakistan–Afghanistan floods

In Pakistan 80 deaths were reported as of 5 August; more than 30 other people were injured.[1] The death toll rose to 83 as of 13 August with more than 94 injured.[3][5] Casualties spanned the country, with the city of Karachi in south Pakistan being the hardest hit. In the northwest, 12 deaths were reported in the tribal region, eight in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and three in the Kashmir region.[6] Fast moving water washed away many houses in the region.[2] In central Pakistan, 12 deaths were reported in Punjab province. In the south, eight deaths were reported in Sindh and ten in Baluchistan.[6] Across Pakistan, more than 66,000 people were affected by the rain and resulting floods.[3] Many of the deaths were the result of collapsed houses or by electrocution from downed power lines. In Karachi, poor neighbourhoods experienced waist-deep flooding and widespread power outages.[1] Drainage and sewage systems in the city were clogged, causing the streets to fill with water.[3]

Mountainous regions in eastern and southeastern Afghanistan were the main areas hit by floods. In the rural Surobi District 61 people were killed, and around 500 mudbrick homes were washed away across more than a dozen villages. In the provinces of Khost and Nangarhar, flooding destroyed 50 houses and thousands of acres of farm land. 24 deaths were reported in the area. In the province of Nuristan at least 60 homes were destroyed across three districts, but no casualties were reported.[1] On 10 August, at least 22 more people killed in the flash flood near Kabul[7] As of 14 August death toll rises above 90 in the country.
