According to the report, the heavy rainfall has also caused complete or partial damage to nearly 950000 houses in Pakistan, killed about 720000 livestock, destroyed 149 bridges and more than 3450 kilometers of highways, and cut off five inter provincial and intra provincial railway lines affected by the flood. Pakistan's National Disaster Management Bureau also issued a flood warning on the evening of the 27th, saying that due to the continuous heavy rainfall in many parts of the country, some basins of the Kabul River and the Indus River in Pakistan will reach or exceed the "extremely high" flood level in the next one to two days, reminding all relevant departments to prepare for emergency rescue. When visiting the disaster areas in Sindh province on the 27th, Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif said that the government had allocated 38 billion rupees (about 1.18 billion yuan) to help the affected people, and appealed to the international community to help Pakistan cope with the losses caused by the floods.
