Three people died of starvation in the flood-hit area of Subatpur in Jaffarabad district of Balochistan, sources said on Monday.
The three men had become weak and emaciated after not getting sufficient food and water for the past few days and passed away on Monday, sources added.
Several people are trapped in the Panorsnari, Goth Murad, and Mehopur area without any sustenance.
Meanwhile, flood victims staged a protest in Dera Murad Jamali against the slow pace of relief activities in the districts of Naseerabad and Jaffarabad.
Local leaders have strongly criticised the police for using violence against flood victims who were protesting peacefully.
