Hurricane update - 26 June

Tropical cyclone Yemyin has brought flooding and high winds to the southern coast of Pakistan, adding to already existing flood problems. Hundreds of fishingboats were destroyed and parts of the coastal highway linking the province of Balochistan with the rest of the country were washed away. The 12 crew of one fishingboat were rescued by the Pakistan navy, but dozens more have been reported missing. The cyclone is weakening as it moves west; it may yet reemerge over the Gulf of Oman, but the chances of that happening appear slender.
