Rahim yar khan: Two children died while two others remained missing after a woman allegedly jumped into a canal with her four children following a domestic dispute reportedly triggered by financial hardship, rescue officials said.

The incident occurred near Chak 182-P, where 30-year-old Razia Kausar allegedly jumped into the Gullen Canal along with her four children after becoming distressed over poverty and frequent domestic disputes.

People present at the scene rescued the woman, while all four children were swept away by the canal's strong current.

The children were identified as 10-year-old Ali Hassan, seven-year-old Tayyaba, four-year-old Rehan and two-year-old Ayan.
