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).

"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.
