AFP, Baluchistan :
Flash floods caused by torrential rains in southwest Pakistan killed at least 16 people including 14 women, officials said on Friday.
The floodwaters swept away many people in two remote villages of Khuzdar district in Baluchistan, around 370 kilometres (230 miles) south of the provincial capital Quetta.
“The torrential rains in the hilly areas created flash floods which swept away some gypsy people sleeping in makeshift tents in the dried water channel,” Akbar Harifal, a senior administration official in the region, told AFP.
