At least 23 people were killed in rain-related incidents in Karachi. More than 500mm of rain had fallen this month, 230mm on Thursday alone, according to the Met office.
The heavy rainfall also resulted in massive traffic jams in parts of the city due to flooded roads. The traffic police advised the commuters to avoid driving the wrong side as this will make the situation worse.
