A crisis is unfolding in Pakistan as heavy rains continue to batter the country, leading to dangerous flooding and potentially deadly consequences. Over 200 people are reportedly missing in the Sindh district, according to local officials. The disaster has already claimed several victims and forced thousands to flee their homes.
