Pakistan's famed ancient city Mohenjo Daro faces the wrath of a monster monsoon as rains push walls, built nearly 5,000 years ago, to collapse
Rains now threaten the famed archaeological site Mohenjo Daro, as seen on September 6, 2022, says Ahsan Abbasi, the site's curator.
The flooding has not directly hit Mohenjo Daro but the record-breaking rains have inflicted damage on the ruins of the ancient city, Ahsan Abbasi, the site's curator, said on Tuesday. He said dozens of construction workers under the supervision of archaeologists have started the repair work. Abbasi did not give an estimated cost of the damages at Mohenjo Daro.
On Monday, army engineers made a second cut into an embankment at Lake Manchar, Pakistan's largest freshwater lake, to release rising waters in hopes of saving the nearby city of Sehwan from major flooding. Tens of thousands of people are already living in such camps, and thousands more have taken shelter on roadsides on higher ground.
Sharif has also repeatedly asked the international community to send more aid to the flood victims. He insisted that Pakistan is facing a climate-crisis-induced tragedy.
