The flooding hit the majority of areas of Pakistan including areas such as the South of Punjab, the Upper South region of Pakistan, Balochistan Province, and Sindh. After this disaster, Pakistan became the center of the eye all over the world. Since then, international help is flowing in continuously. The Floods have affected more than 3 million people all over the country.
