Calamitous rains across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have claimed 631 lives this year, marking one of the deadliest periods of weather-related destruction in the province.
Officials report that relentless downpours triggered widespread flash floods, landslides, and infrastructure collapses, overwhelming rescue and relief efforts.
Many remote areas were cut off for days, leaving families stranded without access to food, shelter, or medical assistance until teams could reach them.
Authorities say the scale of the devastation has stretched provincial resources, prompting urgent calls for federal support and additional emergency funding.
Climate experts warn that extreme weather patterns are becoming more frequent, putting vulnerable mountainous regions at even greater risk.
Relief groups continue to work across affected districts, but rebuilding efforts are expected to take months due to the vast scale of damage.
