Pakistan Floods 2025: Over 340 Dead, Survivors Fear Returning Home

Catastrophic floods in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have claimed over 340 lives, with survivors fearful of returning to waterlogged homes amid forecasts of more heavy rain. The Buner district, particularly affected, witnessed an unprecedented cloudburst that dumped 150mm of rain in one hour, exacerbating the crisis.

The Provincial Disaster Management Authority warns of a worsening situation as intense rainfall is expected until September 10. Residents, like Sahil Khan from Buner Bayshonai Kalay village, describe the conditions as apocalyptic, with homes and vehicles swept away by flash floods.

The National Disaster Management Authority highlights the risks posed by global warming in such disasters.
