Record-Breaking Blizzards Batter Pakistan, Killing At Least 23
Unprecedented blizzards battered parts of Pakistan over the weekend, including the hilltop town of Murree where deep drifts and felled trees blocked roads, trapping thousands of vehicles, and killing at least 23 people.
One Pakistani woman, trapped in her car for hours by the record snowfall, described how she “saw death” in front of her as she waited for help.
Samina said she left her home at 16:00 local time to travel to Murree, but soon found herself among those trapped in the snow: “I could see death in front of me,” she said. “It was like there were snow peaks built around our car… I can’t explain in words what I was going through… We were praying God may help us and we shouldn’t be perished in a snowstorm.”
