A Pakistani broadcaster adopted the saying “from the heart of the event” to convey to his citizens the facts of the floods that swept his country. The broadcaster’s video spread on social media as he provided the news in the depths of the floods.
The details of the incident are due to the presenter resorting to providing a video news report on the dangerous floods in Pakistan, as he was forced to present it in the depths of the waters that washed him away.

The broadcaster, whose images spread widely in various parts of the world and received a large number of positive comments, appeared inside the floods while holding on to a rock to save himself from the torrential waters. The reporter can be heard describing the situation in the high tide water, which takes him as it flows, as if he is unable to balance or stand up straight.
According to the pictures and videos spread on social media platforms, the announcer was gathering his strength, swallowing some flood water, holding the microphone in the other hand and presenting his news report.
And the Pakistani authorities announced that the death toll from the floods sweeping the country has risen to 1138 dead and 1634 injured.
Climate Change Minister Sherry Rahman revealed that a third of her country is “submerged under water” as a result of floods caused by record monsoon rains this year.
