KARACHI: Floods triggered by monsoon rains crippled Pakistan's biggest city and commercial hub of Karachi on Tuesday, with few people able to make it to work or school, officials said.
Pakistan, regarded as one of the world's most unstable countries, is haunted by memories of last year's epic floods, which brought widespread criticism of the government because of its slow response.
Over 800,000 families remain without permanent shelter from last year's country-wide floods, aid groups say, and more than a million need food assistance.
