Following heavy rains and flash floods in Pakistan, at least 71 people were killed and another 34 hospitalized. Beginning the night of Saturday, April 3, rainfall began to spur floods in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region in the northwest. Heavy rainfall is common in Southern Asia during the pre-monsoon season. Following the floods, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government began to administer relief for those affected. Rural areas with poor infrastructure were highly susceptible, and, consequently, some 150 homes were destroyed in the event. The floods also caused deadly landslides that killed another 23 people. However, 5 survived and were rescued. Furthermore, the rain washed away bridges and roads in the area, as well as causing crop loss.
