Nigeria - More than 100,000 people have had to flee their homes after heavy rains and flooding in Nigeria's southeastern Benue state, President Muhammadu Buhari said late Thursday. The region had been battered by heavy rains over the past two weeks with the level of the Benue river rising. Cars and thousands of homes were completely submerged. Long lines of men and women were seen carrying mattresses, bags and other belongings as they fled on foot.
Pakistan - Flash monsoon flooding in Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, has claimed the lives of at least 16 people, most of them children, officials confirmed Friday. At least 11 deaths have been attributed to electrocution, as rising waters become electrified in low-lying urban areas. Karachi is the latest major South Asian city to be hit by heavy monsoon rains amid a widening flood-related crisis engulfing much of the region.
