Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Thursday deemed the rain-induced flooding “a national emergency”. Aurangzeb said that a critical juncture had been reached and the time had come to demonstrate “national spirit” to deal with the extraordinary disasters in Sindh and Balochistan. “The entire nation, especially overseas Pakistanis, should donate generously to help the flood victims as a huge amount of money will be required for the rehabilitation of the victims due to the large-scale disaster,” she added.
