Floods from River Indus entered the suburbs of Shehr Sultan in Punjab, putting parts of Khan Garh underwater and prompting thousands to flee from their homes.
While people flock towards safer locations, many others are not prepared to leave their homes in Rohailanwali, Khan Garh as well as Shehr Sultan.
Meanwhile, relief efforts have also been hampered by poor infrastructure in the area due to bad condition of the local roads.
Earlier, Muzzafargarh was partly saved from the flood by the breaking the TP Link Canal dyke, which has not yet been repaired.
The flood torrent level is decreasing near Rajanpur, Rojhan and Kot Mithan areas of South Punjab. This water is now headed towards Sindh and is expected to eventually end up in Guddu Barrage.
In the meantime the water level at Taunsa barrage has reached 550,000 cusecs.
The outbreak of several diseases, including cholera, gastroenteritis, malaria and some skin diseases has been reported from flood hit areas, while flood victims anxiously wait for medical assistance, amid a small number of doctors and a severe shortage of medicines.
Hundreds of flood victims of South Punjab could not be registered at relief camps in Multan, as they were unable to prove their identity. These victims had lost their national ID cards in the floods.
Affectees from several areas including Muzaffargarh, Dera Ghazi Khan, Taunsa, Rojhan, Rohilanwali, Wasanday wali and other areas have arrived in Multan, hoping to get some relief.
They have appealed to the government to waive off the condition of identification for registration at relief camps.
Recovery plan for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
A plan has been devised to conduct a damage assessment survey in flood-hit areas of Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa.
The plan was finalised at a meeting in Peshawar, where it was decided that a survey for assessment of flood damage will be conducted at the Union Council level.
Survey committees will be formed, with local teachers as the heads and local patwaris and MPAs as members.
A 15-day deadline has also been set for completion of the survey, after which its findings are to be submitted to the PDMA. The disaster authority, in turn, is required to pass on the findings to the UN.
It was also decided that each affected family will initially be given Rs25,000 followed by another Rs 375,000 to be issued through smart cards.
Sindh still in danger of flood
The Met Office on Thursday said high floodwaters will remain in Sindh for at least a week. However, the flood will subside at Guddu Barrage within the next two days.
DG Met Office Dr Qamar-uz-zaman said a second flood wave has crossed Guddu Barrage and is at Sukkur Barrage at the moment. He said it will take about week for the wave to cross Koti Barrage.
He said the situation is still dangerous in downstream Kotri Barrage, as the flood water has yet to reach the area.
He said southern Sindh districts are in danger of flooding as the Arabian Sea will be in high tide and will not allow entry of the flood water quickly.
Affectees without shelter in Balochistan
Floods have affected more than one million people in Jaffarabad district with road links to the area still suspended.
Flash floods have caused widespread devastation in Balochistan with dozens of villages inundated and more than a million people made homeless.
Authorities have set up few relief camps in the province with not many affectees residing there.
Most of the flood victims are stranded without shelter and are complaining of the authorities' negligence.
Thousands of flood victims from Sindh have also taken refuge in Balochistan with most of them residing near Naseerabad.
