In Pakistan, over one thousand people have died and millions have been displaced in the flood that has wreaked havoc across the country.

Pakistan National Disaster Management Authority said the monsoon rains have killed 119 people in the last 24 hours. In the north-west of the country, thousands of people fled their homes after rivers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province burst their banks, causing powerful flash floods.

The province of Sindh in the south-east of the country has also been badly affected, with thousands displaced from their homes.

After visiting flood-hit areas, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the magnitude of the calamity is bigger than expected.
