STORYLINE:
Pakistan's minister for climate change Sherry Rehman on Thursday said recent flash flooding that followed an extreme heat wave was a "humanitarian disaster of epic proportions."
"Thousands are without shelter, many are without food and people are stranded," she said, adding that the scale of the disaster was "beyond the capacity of any one administration or government."
After inundating much of Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan and eastern Punjab province, flash floods have also affected the southern Sindh province.
Authorities this week closed schools in Sindh and Baluchistan.
Heavy rains have triggered flash floods and wreaked havoc across much of Pakistan since mid-June, leaving 903 dead and about 50,000 people homeless, the country's disaster agency said Wednesday.
Ghulam Qadir Jamali lives in the village of Dera Alla Yar.
"So far we did not received any help from the government, our kids are lying on the road. We don't have anything to feed them, we don't have a tent for shelter," he said.
Thousands whose homes were swept away now live in tents, miles away from their inundated villages and towns, after being rescued by soldiers, local disaster workers and volunteers.
The National Disaster Management Authority said so far 126 people were killed in flood-related incidents in the past 48 hours, with most of the victims being women and children.
The flooding has further exacerbated Pakistan's economic crisis.
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif issued an appeal on Wednesday from abroad, urging philanthropists to help flood-affected areas in Pakistan.
