In Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, terrible monsoon floods and landslides have claimed the lives of at least 194 people in the past 24 hours.

Most of the deaths, 180, were reported by disaster officials in the northwest Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which is hilly.

During operations, a rescue chopper crashed, killing five of its crew members, and at least 30 homes were destroyed. According to the report, five persons killed in the northern Gilgit-Baltistan region and nine more died in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

According to government forecasters, the country's northwest, where many regions have been declared disaster zones, will get lots of rain until August 21.

That was a devastating flood, and no man can evade the act of nature. Hoping no more floods to come in the coming days.

Things are still not good here. Rain is falling non stop here on many locations and many of the rivers are flowing above the danger mark. Things are even worse on the mountains.

That is crucial if the rain does not stop. There will be continuous flooding. Hoping that the residents near the rivers, lakes, seas, and beaches must evacuate as soon as possible.
