happening is that rescue operations are continuing in most parts of the country, specifically in khyber pakhtunkhwaurists were stranded, and right now a0 tourists have been evacuated from there and 300 are actually stranded so right now rescue operations are limited because access is limited and most of khyber pakhtunkhwa is also cut off from the rest of the country and similar in baluchistan and in sindh province are equally the worst affected in terms of the disaster that is there. at the same time, they are especially cut off, especially baluchistan which was anyway weak when it comes to infrastructure and road links and everything, so this disaster has only made things worse for the provinces right now. the death toll sadly rising all the time. just to put this in context, can you give us any idea of what percentage of the population is affected by the flooding? well, right now, 33 million people are affected by this, so this basically makes it up to 15% of the population is affected by the disaster, which a lot of ministers and the authorities that we have spoken to have said that this is wors

like sindh and balochistan in the south are the worst affected — but mountainous regions in khyber pakhtunkhwa been badly hit by heavy rainfall and swollen rivers. sindh province is low—lying and it's received eight times its average rainfall for august. the catastrophe is not yet over — water is still surging down the mighty indus river, with fears it could cause more flooding and landslides down river. the bbc has been filming across the country, including our correspondent pumza filhani, who has sent this report from the city of sukkur. a moment of quiet in the middle of chaos. inside a crowded hall, families that have been displaced by the floods in northern pakistan have found temporary refuge. for many, it was a narrow escape. translation: our houses have collapsed because of _ the floods. we had a home and it was enough for us. now all our belongings are buried under 12 to 13 feet of water. when i left with my children, i saw my house collapse. the rivers are swelling, and all many can do is stand and watch. the raging floods and mudslides have forced people to flee to higher ground. 0n

provinces like sindh and balochistan in the south are the worst affected but mountainous regions in khyber pakhtunkhwa been badly hit. 0ur correspondent pumza filhani sent this report from the city of sukkur. a moment of quiet in the middle of chaos. inside a crowded hall, families that have been displaced by the floods in northern pakistan have found temporary refuge. for many, it was a narrow escape. translation: our houses have collapsed because - of the floods. we had a home and it was enough for us. now all our belongings are buried under 12—13 feet of water. when i left with my children, i saw my house collapse. the rivers are swelling, and all many can do is stand and watch. the raging floods and mudslides have forced people to flee to higher ground. 0n the other side of the country, in sindh, there's been some reprieve from the rains, but swathes of land are still under water and unlivable. many families have settled near major roads, or wherever there is still dry land. families have been displaced across pakistan, but the people that have been worst affected are the poor, people who had very

the national disaster management authority says 119 people have died of sindh and khyber pakhtunkhwa.minister says her country is unable to cope with the unprecedented flooding and that the disaster is a consequence of climate change. millions of people have been affected and many have been forced to abandon their homes. 0ur correspondent farhat javed has reached one village where people are waiting for help. this monsoon, pakistan is facing unprecedented rains and flash floods. i am here in a valley, and this is a bridge which was collapsed by a flash flood two days ago, and since then, the village on the other side of the bridge is totally cut off from the rest of the community here. we have seen people waiting on this side with their belongings to go to that side but they can't go because they are still waiting for this bridge to be rebuilt or some other route to be developed for them. so, these people are waiting for help and assistance and they are conveying messages, and when we reached here, they threw this piece of paper with some stones, and they wanted to give us a message,

many rivers have also burst their banks in the north—western khyber pakhtunkhwa province. one of the worst hit areas. swathes of land across southern pakistan have been turned into islands. the rains have been unforgiving, and the water is still trapped between people's homes. homes, roads and infrastructure have been destroyed, and some villages completely isolated. this week authorities issued fresh warnings for people to get to higher ground. for some, that meant beside a road. families left with what they could manage. this man tells us he has lost everything. translation: we've been sitting here for one week. | there are 20 of us in my family, and we don't know where to go. these tents that you are seeing on either side of this main road are where people have come to seek temporary shelter. they tell me that something was different about this year's rains. the water hasn'tjust come from flooded rivers, but it was torrential rains from the sky, and unlike in the past where over time the water would recede, the water is still here, and it's been weeks, so they don't kno

mr imran khan's party controls khyber pakhtunkhwa and punjab, two of the larger provinces in pakistans have been busy organising his rallies and then there is all the attention that mr khan gets and he tries to hog it and, as a result, there has not been enough attention to provincial governments which are paralysed, have not paid attention to the floods, just as his supporters are being told they should now donate to flood relief lest it creates some kind of positive image for the current government and the government has to deal with all the political fallout of mr khan's campaign so even in the best of times, pakistan's governments are not really prepared for disaster management and in this particular instance, they are also badly distracted. the government are calling for aid. what has the international response been so far? in 2010, pakistan had massive floods, as you remember. at that time, the flood damage required $7 billion to be attended to and there was a $17 billion impact on the economy. this time, nobody has an estimate but one can safely say will probably be as much if

from upcountry, like swat area, and then it ends up to baluchistan, also affecting punjab, khyber pakhtunkhwan baluchistan, the situation started earlier, where i was in the beginning of august and i was also there since yesterday, and during my whole trip there was a continuous rain and the rain was continuously destroying more and more infrastructure. that included the houses of the people, livelihood assets, as well as the public infrastructure, bridges, roads, so it's a destruction everywhere, and if i compare it with 2010 floods, the situation is worse. 33 million people in total are impacted because of this flood. 4.2 million are directly affected. around 100 districts across pakistan are severely affected by these floods, so it's one of the mega disasters we have seen in our recent history. and the situation is threatening to get even worse. how much support are you able to currently offer, and what are your concerns going forward? you are very much right. the situation is unfolding day by day and it's becoming worse and worse. before, it was a flash flood. now, another phenomena is th

this evacuation number that i gave you, this is from khyber—pakhtunkhwa province, where tourists arere are other places like, for instance, balochistan and sindh. they remain the worst affected because they already were dealing with really bad infrastructure and really bad network. so it was really getting difficult for people to reach those places. so that's why at the moment, people are only expecting, unfortunately, the worst for themselves. and how fast is the international aid coming? is pakistan hoping to see actual teams from other countries come in and help? well, right now, iran, turkey and uae have pledged their support. and as we speak right now, a turkish aircraft landed in karachi airport and they basically sent humanitarian assistance to pakistan. at the same time earlier in the day, the uae also sent humanitarian assistance in the form of food and medicines and tents. iran has also pledged its support, but so far no teams are coming into pakistan, as we saw in 2005 during the earthquake, where a lot of international aid and a lot of international help came in. as a min

in the northern province of khyber pakhtunkhwa, our correspondent farhat javed has reached one villagewaiting for help. this tells the tale of the horrors mohammed farid has been through in the last 48 hours. he has just lost a young daughter, a piece of his heart, he tells us. a flash flood in the river kunhar washed her away and her dead body was found later in the evening. translation: she told me, "daddy, i'm going to collectl leaves for my goat." then i went looking for her after a while. there was a lot of water. she went to the bank of the river and a gush of water followed and took her away. kaghan valley is a popular tourist destination in the north of pakistan. but three days ago, a heavy downpour of rain triggered flash flooding, devastating the area. before it reached farid's daughter the inundations had already claimed at least 14 lives. this bridge was collapsed by the same flood. now the village on the other side is completely cut off for two days now. it will take some time to rebuild it, but people are worried. they are waiting for help and assistance to reach them. i

most of the victims were from the north—western khyber pakhtunkhwa province where the authorities havernings. the kabul river has broken its banks, sweeping away houses and hotels and residents in some districts have been asked to move to safer places. nearly a thousand people have been killed in rains and floods sincejune and the government is deploying the army to help rescue operations. the worst affected areas are in the provinces of balochistan and sindh in the south, from where our correspondent pumza fihlani sent this report. moving to higher ground. families wade through the water with the only belongings they could salvage. in southern pakistan, many streets have been turned into rivers. families have set up tents on the few roads that are still visible. it's been more than ten days of heavy rains and yet the streets are still flooded. this is one of the main roads linking this community to the outside world. something has also happened here. many of the people of this community say they've lost their homes to the floods. what they could do was they moved to slightly higher gr

like sindh and balochistan in the south are the worst affected, but mountainous regions in khyber pakhtunkhwa killed as roads, homes and bridges were washed away across the country. and officials estimate more than 33 million pakistanis, that's one in seven people, have been affected by the flooding. ourfirst report is from secunder kermani, in the northwestern town of nowshera. along one of pakistan's busiest motorways, a makeshift camp. poor families forced from their homes, floodwater submerging everything they own. "i'm in so much pain, i can't even express it," says this woman. "we've even lost our honour. where else can we go?" wading through the suburbs of the northern city of nowshera, families trying to reach their homes. "we haven't been able to get to our house. just look at the road," says this woman. "how can we get there? no—one is helping us." this man, a chef, hasjust returned to his home for the first time. will you be able to buy these things again, rebuild this house? "no," he says, "i'm just asking god to help us get enough food for now. we've got nothing left. we couldn't
