KARACHI Awami Tehrik chief Rasool Bux Palijo has claimed that at least 450 people have so far been killed and over eight million affected in Sindh by floods that are still taking their toll.

“The unprecedented monsoon rains in the country have triggered a catastrophe threatening the life and property of millions others,” he said at a press conference at the Karachi Press Club on Sunday.

He said the floods ravaging Sindh were the worst in a century in terms of loss of life and property.

He said the United Nations, international donor agencies and financial institutions and Friends of Pakistan, besides the international community, must pay due attention now to the plight of 60 million people of Sindh by rushing maximum possible humanitarian aid to the eight million flood victims.
