Hundreds were killed within days in rain -related accidents

It is located between the lush green mountains in northern Pakistan, and with a river flowing quietly across its center, Bishnoi was until recently, a beautiful village.

But it rained greatly on Friday morning, August 15, and when the villagers woke up early and ran out to work, they were not aware of how things changed quickly.

According to the local population, a sudden torrent of water came through bishnoi, “bringing huge rocks with it and crushing buildings on its way, and destroying the entire village.”

When the British Broadcasting Corporation visited the Urdu in the wake of this, the area was widespread with large stones, concrete blocks and uprooting trees. Without heavy machines, rescue workers and locals were busy with disinfection of debris using small tools.

“There is a house under every stone. People are trying to look under these rocks to see if they can find someone,” the local ISRAR Khan explained. “The houses are buried underground.”

With the province of Khaybar Bakhtongua on a larger scale, at least 314 people were killed and 156 were injured due to the rains and floods that started between Thursday and Friday.

Boner, where Bishnoi is located, is the worst affected, with 217 deaths, according to the Regional Disaster Management Authority (PDMA).

Another said that many people were killed in a house where the wedding preparations were. Others told us that there was a total of 80 to 90 families in Peshanwi, most of them were involved in agriculture.

An estimated 50 % of the homes are completely destroyed in the flood. The rest is no longer valid for housing.

The seasonal rains between June and September offer about three quarters of the annual rains of South Asia. The landslides and floods are common, and 650 people have already died in this year’s season.

In Pakistan, at least 507 people have died and more than 700 people were in rainy incidents since the monsoons began in late June, according to the National Disaster Management Agency.

Punjab and parts of Islamabad are among the areas that were beaten due to heavy rains and sudden floods so far this year. However, neither of them was hit more than the mountain north in Pakistan, the home of Khyber Bakhtonguwa and one of the most ice areas in the region.

Global warming causes these ice flowers thin and quickly retreated, in turn making debris such as rocks, soil and other materials most vulnerable to imbalance. Although the exact cause of floods and recent terrestrial collapses has not yet been determined, ice specialists say the melting of the ice is a contributing factor.

The government foreclosure warned that the heavy rains expected until August 21 in the northwest, where many disaster areas were announced.

In Wadi Swat, less than 100 km from Boner, the principal saved nearly 900 students from the floods.

“It was exactly 09:00 when she took a final look at the current and envied that she would explode her banks due to continuous rains,” Saeed Ahmed, 59, told Anadolu Agency.

Mr. Ahmed ordered an immediate evacuation, and within 15 minutes, all teachers and children left – moments before the rise in flood water, and washed half of the building, its border walls and its stadium.

“This time by time by the director saved 900 life,” said Saarwar Khan, a local adviser.

Others were not very lucky. Abdel Salam, who lives in Punjab, told the BBC Urdu about the moment he realized his wife, two daughters and son in the floods of Swat Wadi.

“I started calling numbers on my mobile phone like madness, but I could not communicate with my wife and children,” he said. All of them drowned the four.

Meanwhile, in Bonner, Asar Khan said 27 people from his village are still missing.

When asked how the disaster was revealed, he took a deep breath.

“Everything happened in front of my eyes,” he said, and he explained that although he and others managed to save some people, “The water was so strong that he had no one.”

The crops lie on both sides of the road to driving towards Birr Bear Baba Bazar. The trees were uprooted and the vehicles were in ruin – sometimes stuck in the mud, and sometimes in the walls.

Upon reaching the market, other details of the destruction were clear.

The severity of the floods was clear from the fact that the water had reached the third floor. Some stores have collapsed. Sugar bags and women’s clothes are scattered in the mud, as vehicles pass.

The owners of the stores began to work on their own, and remove clay and water from their stores.

In Bishnoi, Khmer and other relief agencies were working hard, as goods were distributed between people and a medical camp. Rescue and other agencies, along with military individuals, were busy with restoration work, while heavy machines were also arriving.

But people from remote areas have reached the disaster area to help the affected.

At one point, two young men came and sat on a stone, and their feet are covered with mud.

“They look at the house at the forefront,” another man explained.

The house was not immediately clear – until it indicated the foundations of the year 20 family members.

“Eighteen of them are no longer there,” he said. “Some bodies were found and the search for others is continuing.”

He added that two people survived, but they were unconscious and seemed confused about the situation.

“Their understanding does not work,” explained. “If anyone asks them anything, they start crying.”
