HeadlineAug 31, 2020

In Pakistan, torrential rains have killed at least 13 people and submerged large swaths of Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city. This comes in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak. The record-breaking rains this month are 10 times the monthly average and the worst since record-keeping began some 90 years ago. Last week, over eight inches of rain fell in a period of just 12 hours.
