ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has summoned an All Parties Conference (APC) over the ongoing flood disasters in the country.
The APC will be held at the Prime Minister’s House on Monday (today). In this regard, the sources revealed that apart from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), all the political parties, including PDM and all allies, have been invited to the conference.
The conference will discuss measures to tackle the calamity faced by the people due to the monsoon rains and flooding across the country. It should be noted that the humanitarian situation in Pakistan has deteriorated over the past two weeks as heavy rains continue to cause flooding.
Over 1,000 people have died due to rain and flood disasters in the four provinces, including Gilgit-Baltistan, while millions have been displaced. Furthermore, crops on millions of acres have been completely destroyed and many houses have become piles of rubble.
