Pakistan is facing increased rainfall this month, raising concerns of flooding and landslides. The National Disaster Management Authority reported a death toll of 337 from recent floods, with northern regions severely affected.
The country has endured heavier rain during monsoon seasons, which scientists have attributed to climate change. The authorities said that at least 194 people died on Friday.
A sudden flash flood, triggered by heavy rain, swept through northwest Pakistan, wreaking havoc across towns and villages and claiming over 300 lives in just 24 hours, including five crew members of a rescue helicopter.
