Friday prayers in Pakistan's flood-ravaged Sindh

STORY: Torrential rains and flooding have submerged a third of Pakistan and killed more than 1,208 people.

Around 33 million people have been affected, 15% of the 220 million-strong South Asian nation.

Southern Sindh province, with a population of 50 million, has been one of the hardest hit areas of the country, receiving 466% more rain than the 30-year average.

In Sindh’s Tando Allahtar city, devotees crossed murky floodwaters to attend Friday prayers at a local mosque.

Pakistan's meteorological office predicted more rains and flash flooding for the month of September.
