SWABI – A roof collapsed in the Sarkoi Banda area of Gadoon following heavy rainfall, leaving multiple people seriously injured, rescue officials confirmed. The injured were swiftly transported to Bacha Khan Medical Complex in Shah Mansoor, Swabi, for treatment, according to 1122 rescue authorities.

Since June 26, torrential rains and flash floods have wreaked havoc across Pakistan, claiming the lives of at least 657 people, including 392 men, 171 children, and 94 women. Another 929 people have been injured, with 437 men, 256 children, and 236 women among them, reported the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

The NDMA said these casualties have resulted from heavy monsoon rains, flash floods, and related hazards. The authority is coordinating with provincial governments to intensify relief and rescue efforts in the most affected areas.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has suffered the heaviest losses, recording 390 deaths, including 288 men, 59 children, and 43 women. The province also reported 245 injuries, with 161 men, 45 children, and 39 women affected.
