The NDMA reported that the victims included 158 men, 19 women, and 17 children, while at least 28 people have been injured nationwide. Damage assessments indicate that 116 houses have been destroyed or partially damaged in affected regions, forcing many residents to seek temporary shelter.
Relief agencies are working to restore access to remote areas cut off by landslides, while rescue teams continue to search for missing persons. Authorities have warned that the death toll may rise as weather conditions remain unstable and more rainfall is expected in the coming days.
