The South African government on Wednesday sent condolences to the Pakistan government following the large-scale destruction and loss of thousands of lives in the wake of the recent flooding witnessed in the South Asian country.
More than 1,000 people have been killed in worst floods in Pakistan’s history that have left parts of the country submerged over the past few days.
International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor said The South African government “stands in solidarity with those affected and salute(s) the emergency personnel working tirelessly to assist those in need.”
“We are saddened by the losses you have suffered as a result of the devastating floods that have occurred during the current Monsoon season and wish to express our solidarity with you during this trying times.”
More than 33 million people, about 15 percent of Pakistan’s population, have been affected across the country by the flooding.
