The disaster management authority said around 15,000 soldiers have been deployed for relief operations in affected areas.
Many people have been without drinking water or electricity for days in Balochistan. More rains are forecast in the area.
Flash floods have hampered attempts to bring aid to people hit by storms.
"Relief goods are pouring in, but it is a challenge to distribute it in the vast affected area where communication and transportation lines have broken down," Raziq Bugti, spokesman for the Balochistan government told the Associated Press news agency.
Another relief official said more tents were needed to provide shelter for people who had been left homeless by the floods.
Relief commissioner Ali Gul Kurd said hundreds of villages had been inundated, with 90% of crops, cattle and houses destroyed in some areas. He also said that the casualty figures could rise as dozens of people had been reported missing.
