KARACHI, Pakistan—A van fell into a water-filled ditch in Pakistan’s flood-hit south, killing 20 passengers—mostly women and children—and injuring 13 others overnight, police said Friday.
The incident on a flood-weakened highway took place in Sindh Province on Indus Highway. The road had been dredged in several places to drain out floodwater, but has not been repaired months later. Impoverished Pakistan is struggling to recover from record-breaking flooding, which killed more than 1,700 people and damaged roads and bridges.
