Sindh was the hardest hit by the floods in Pakistan. Recently, a reporter from the Central Radio and Television Station visited the disaster area in Sindh Province. Local villages and farmland were washed away by floods, and crop harvests were severely damaged. Let's take a look at the report sent back by the reporter from the general station from the disaster area.
Cui Ru: This is the city of Mude in Sindh Province, and now on my left side you can see a large area of water, in fact, before the flood came, this was a village, every tree was planted by every family in the village, and now all of them are submerged, and some small trees have been topped. Now on my right hand side you can see a lot of stacked packages, inside is the villagers rescued the wheat, this side is the cotton they snatched out, you can see that the cotton has not yet fully grown, the villagers will choose a highland like this to rest, at night they will set up a simple tent to stay.
According to local villagers, twelve or three nearby villages were flooded. After the villagers evacuated from the village, they piled up the remaining daily necessities on the embankment-like highland.
Sadie Khan: All the villages near the river are flooded, and the village where I live is right in front of you.
Sindh is an important cotton grain producer in Pakistan. After the heat wave in May this year, heavy rainfall and flooding once again hit the province's agricultural harvest, and reporters saw that many cotton fields that had not yet had time to be picked were soaked in water along the way, and workers were stepping up drainage.
Cui Ru, a reporter from the main station: This is a highway, which has now been flooded, the traffic has been interrupted, and some villages at the end of the road have also been flooded. Next to it is a police academy, and you can see the walls of the police academy being washed away by water, and some water is flowing out of the police academy. Some local villagers had come here to escape the flood, and when the police academy was flooded, they left from here to live on nearby heights.
