Hundreds of vehicles were dragged along city streets by powerful flood waters. The military said it provided food to at least 10, people and dozens of relief camps were set up for residents. Troops also repaired embankments of a swollen canal by which floodwaters entered the city. Eight of those killed in Karachi died when a wall fell on them in a residential area.
