Pakistan on Saturday expressed condolences on the tragic loss of over 200 precious lives and widespread damage to properties caused by devastating floods in Afghanistan.
More than 200 people were killed in flash floods that ripped through multiple Afghan provinces, the United Nations said, as authorities declared a state of emergency and rushed to rescue the injured.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said: “The government and the people of Pakistan express their heartfelt condolences on the tragic loss of life and widespread damage to property caused by heavy rains and flash floods in several provinces of Afghanistan.”
She further said that their thoughts and prayers were with the families of the victims, injured and the communities affected by this natural calamity.
“We pray for the early recovery of those missing.”
Pakistan stands in solidarity with the people of Afghanistan during this difficult time, she added.
