More than 33 million people, or one in seven Pakistanis, have been affected by the floods and nearly a million homes have been destroyed or severely damaged in nw Pakistan.

Another 28 people have lost their lives during the last 24 hours, bringing the number of victims to 1061 according to the latest NDMA data.

Authorities are still trying to reach isolated villages in mountainous areas in the north of the Asian country, meaning the toll could get even worse.

The NDMA also reported that over 800,000 hectares of agricultural land have been flooded, as well as 3,400 kilometers of roads and 157 bridges.

The monsoon, which usually lasts from June to September, is essential for irrigating crops and replenishing the water resources of the Indian subcontinent. But with it, almost every year, comes many tragedies and disasters . /CNA.al
