Flash floods in northern Pakistan and neighboring India, triggered by heavy monsoon rains, have led to at least 400 fatalities with many still unaccounted for. The majority of deaths occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where 324 lives were lost. The rescue operation is complicated by ongoing heavy rainfall, landslides, and washed-out roads. Approximately 2,000 rescue workers are struggling to find survivors and manage the recovery of bodies from the debris. A heavy rain alert remains in effect, prompting precautionary measures for local residents.
Floods triggered by cloudbursts and monsoon rains have killed around 400 people, with many more still missing. Rescue workers are desperately searching for survivors among the muddy debris.
The death toll from the floods, triggered by heavy monsoon rains this week, has climbed steadily as rescue efforts pick up pace after two days of torrential downpours.
In Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, at least 344 people have died, according to authorities, with 324 deaths reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Heavy rainfall, landslides in several areas, and washed-out roads are causing significant challenges in delivering aid, particularly in transporting heavy machinery and ambulances.
