In northwest Pakistan, a devastating monsoon has wreaked havoc, claiming 365 lives as of Tuesday. The disaster, sparked by flash floods from cloudbursts, has particularly impacted the village of Dalori Bala, where the death toll has reached 30.
Local residents describe a scene of destruction as their homes were swept away by torrents of rock and water. As they prepared for work, many heard a thunderous noise that gave little warning before entire homes were demolished. Urgent calls for assistance are being made by the community.
Efforts continue to rescue those affected, with the military joining in the mission to save lives. Meanwhile, the city of Karachi also faces turmoil, with major roads flooded and fears of additional urban deluges looming.
