💨 Abstract

Severe flash floods in Pakistan, Indian-administered Kashmir, and Nepal resulted in over 400 deaths with hundreds missing. Pakistán's northwest and Buner region was particularly hit hard, with villages devastated and emergency access hindered by damaged roads. Five rescue helicopter crew members died in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The region faces continued severe weather amid a ferocious monsoon season, exacerbated by climate change. Authorities urge residents to avoid risk areas.
