At least 17 people have died in the past 24 hours as floods submerged hundreds of villages across Pakistan’s Punjab province, officials said on Thursday.

Catastrophic flooding in the Sutlej, Ravi, and Chenab rivers has triggered mass evacuations, damaged infrastructure, and inundated millions of acres of agricultural land in the province of over 130 million people. 

According to Punjab Emergency Services Rescue 1122, seven people were killed in Sialkot, four in Gujrat, three in Narowal, two in Hafizabad, and one in Gujranwala.
