At least 342 people have been injured, while thousands of others are still missing as non-stop horrible monsoon rains, flash floods and land sliding brought disaster in the northwestern province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

Two main districts Nowshera and Charsadda of the province have been sunk completely in the flood water.

Communication, gas, electricity and water supplies were badly caused owing to floods and horrific rains.
