Gwadar, a town in south Pakistan, has been submerged after a downpour lasting 15 hours hit the area.

Roads, streets, and houses have been left inundated by floodwater with residents using makeshift boats to navigate the town.

The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) have been called to help with cleanup and rescue efforts.

Heavy rains have wreaked havoc on the coastal town of Gwadar in Pakistan's Balochistan province. The downpour, lasting over 15 hours, submerged entire neighbourhoods, leaving roads, streets, and houses inundated with water. The power transmission system faltered under the onslaught, bringing life to a standstill.

The rain, stemming from a weather system that entered Balochistan on February 25, battered the region with relentless force. It has caused widespread flooding and chaos. Videos depict scenes of the coastal town transformed into a watery expanse, with vehicles navigating through knee-deep floods. "The water has entered the houses and people don’t even have a place to sleep," he lamented, emphasising the lack of governmental follow-up in such crises. While efforts from local authorities and relief teams were underway, the scale of the disaster overwhelmed available resources.

The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) were called upon to intervene urgently, with demands for immediate assistance and compensation for losses. However, the absence of government response exacerbated the plight of the affected residents. With more adverse weather predicted in the coming days, including thunderstorms and snowfall in hilly regions, the specter of further calamity looms large over Gwadar and its residents.
