KARACHI, Sept 4 —Authorities in flood-hit Pakistan breached the country's largest freshwater lake on Sunday, displacing up to 100,000 people from their homes but saving more densely populated areas from gathering flood water, a minister said.

He said about 100,000 people would be affected by the breach but it would help save more populated clusters and also reduce water levels in other, harder-hit areas. The country has already received nearly three times the 30-year average rainfall in the quarter through August, totalling 390.7 millimetres . Sindh province, with a population of 50 million, was hardest hit, getting 464% more rain than the 30-year average.

Also the receivers of organs are usually rich and powerful people who gets first preference. It's sad but I hope its well regulated here. YB Khairykj, saya dah berikrar sebagai penderma organ sejak 2019. Macam mana nak kemaskini dalam my_sejahtera nanti? What else? Book hotels rooms for patients' family.
