More than 200 people are missing in a flood-hit district in northwest Pakistan, with fears that the number could rise following devastating monsoon flooding and landslides. The region has seen over 300 deaths, most in the mountainous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Climate change is exacerbating these intense and frequent weather events, with glaciologists citing ice melt as a contributing factor to the recent floods and landslides.
