The Pakistani government has declared a national emergency as heavy rains and floods have killed over 930 people. "Almost 30 million people are without shelter, thousands of them displaced and have no food," Climate Change Minister Sherry Rehman said. Flash floods caused by heavy rains have swept away bridges and communication infrastructure in various areas of the country, she added.
