The flood-ravaged province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan faces a dire humanitarian crisis as the death toll reaches 365. Torrential rains and flash floods have unleashed widespread destruction across several districts, prompting intense rescue and relief efforts to save the affected and deliver essential aid.
The worst-hit regions, including Swabi, South Waziristan, Tank, Abbottabad, and Mansehra, remain cut off due to landslides and damaged infrastructure. Upper South Waziristan's Servekai was particularly affected, with roads and bridges washed away, leaving areas isolated.
Amidst overflowing hill streams and inundated cities, national emergency measures are in place. Over 25,000 individuals have been rescued, with armed forces, disaster management agencies, and international bodies working tirelessly to restore connectivity and provide necessary supplies.
