TikTok users have been sharing hair-raising visuals from the devastating floods wreaking havoc in Balochistan, Sindh and Punjab.
The scale of devastation being witnessed nationwide is difficult to express in words. A Twitter user shared a thread of TikToks documenting the state of various parts of the country that have been hit by extreme floods. The thread, altogether, presents a stark reminder of the challenge posed by climate change to the world in general and Pakistan in particular.

The videos showed cities completely submerged in water, people wading in water as high as their chests, cars off-roaded and roads swept away. People can be seen huddled under makeshift straw canopies for shelter.
