FLOODS due to a cyclone and heavy rain have left as many as 100 people dead in south-western Pakistan, a senior relief official said yesterday.
The government also appealed to the international community for donations of tents to help shelter about a million people left homeless.
The deaths have occurred in the province of Baluchistan since Tuesday, when Cyclone Yemyin and rains triggered floods across a vast area, according to Tariq Ayub, the province's home secretary, who is overseeing the flood relief operation.
Footage on Pakistani television channels showed vast areas in Baluchistan submerged, with survivors sometimes wading through neck-high water.
