Hey Amigos, we've got some somber news coming from Pakistan. Over the weekend, intense thunderstorms and lightning strikes have tragically taken the lives of at least 41 people across the country. 🌩️😔
Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued warnings about potential landslides and flash floods as more rain is expected in the coming days. If you're in the area or have loved ones there, please stay alert and take necessary precautions. ⛈️
Punjab, the largest and most populous province, faced the heaviest toll, with 21 people losing their lives to lightning between Friday and Sunday.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for immediate action, stating, \"I have asked the NDMA to coordinate with the provinces… and for the NDMA to provide relief goods to areas where damages occurred.\" 🤝
People living in open, rural areas are particularly at risk during these severe weather events. If you're caught in a storm, remember to seek shelter indoors and avoid open fields. Safety first, amigos! 🙏
Let's keep the people of Pakistan in our thoughts and hope for clearer skies ahead. 🌤️
