Flash floods kill dozens in Pakistan

 

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan witnessed unfavorable weather conditions as torrential rains followed by flash floods claimed the lives of at least 31 people while several others have been declared missing.

Early on Sunday in northern Pakistan close to the Afghan border, incessant rain fall caused floods as Mosques, several houses and an army post in Ursoon village faced extensive damage.

Osama Ahmad Warraich, deputy commissioner of Chitral, told Al Jazeera that at least 11 people were still missing.

“Most bodies had been identified, however, some bodies might have been washed away to Afghanistan,” he said.
