The official death toll remains under 800, but on Monday the minister of information in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province, formerly the North-West Frontier Province, estimated the true number to be 1,500. Another provincial official said 1.4 million people had lost their homes. As much as 70 percent of the region’s livestock is gone.
The number of people affected by the floods is 2.5 million, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said.
“The next week is critical. With further heavy rains there is a real danger that the flooding will spread further south into Sindh Province,” Ateeb Siddiqui, director of operations with the Pakistan Red Crescent Society, said in a statement.
The displaced are clustered in hundreds of schools, largely fending for themselves for food and drinking water.

God be with those who have been affected!
Yes, it is such an unfortunate occurrence; perhaps an effect of climate change! Thanks for the links.
