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).

He also appealed to the federal government and other provincial governments of the country as well as to the organizations engaged in relief activities to help extend aid to calamity-hit province.

"At least 27,000 people are still trapped in the flood water in only KP and are waiting for help, food, drinking water and medicines," he added.

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. Telephone cables, water pipes and electricity poles were either damaged or washed away by the gushing flood water in the major part of the KP and partial in areas of Punjab, Balochistan and Sindh.

Unlucky affected people left their homes in hurry to escape for safer places when the flood hit them sleeping at night.
