Flash floods kill more than 300 in Pakistan

In Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakh-tun-khwa province, flash floods and landslides have killed more than 300 people, with over 200 still missing.

According to Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority, by Sunday morning, the death toll had risen to at least 337 people, with most killed in flash floods.

In Buner District, a three-and-a-half-hour drive from the capital Islamabad, 207 people died after the area saw more than 150 millimeters of rain in just one hour on Friday.

Rescue efforts are underway, but heavy rainfall is forecast to continue until August 21.

While the region typically experiences monsoon rains between June and September, scientists say that climate change is intensifying and increasing the frequency of flash floods and landslides.
