Coming now to the second province in #Pakistan affected by the rains. Uptil 1st Aug 2024, 24 people had died and hundreds of families made homeless by the rains.

"Pakistan usually receives 255mm of rain each month", #Lahore received 356mm in THREE HOURS. Don't have data on rain in #KP though.

Its times like these I miss the old civic space that was #twitter.

Little #SARSCOV2 nugget from this v informative piece: "Palace has...lied to reporters about...the health of royal family members — in November 2020, we learned that William had contracted a severe case of #COVID-19 in April 2020...veteran royal reporter Robert Jobson tweeted about #KP’s “appalling” decision to lie about the prince’s health, writing, “KP were asked several times by the media whether Prince William had contracted the virus & were told categorically ‘no.’”
