Over 200 missing persons in the flooded region of Pakistan

As a result of the floods, more than 300 people have died in Pakistan and Pakistan's Pakistani-run Kashmir in recent days. The largest number of victims has been registered in the province of Kiber Packuva.

Authorities fear the number of victims could increase even more.

Rescue search teams have said they have buried eight unidentified bodies because no family has been alive, reports the REL.

Heavy rains in the June-September period bring about three quarters of annual rainfall to South Asia.

This year alone, over 650 people died in Pakistan as a result of these weather conditions.

Although mud slides and floods are common consequences of heavy rains, scientists believe that climate change is making these weather situations more intense and frequent.

For victims of the rains, it has also been reported to India - administered Kashmir.

In addition to human damage, torrential rains exacerbate mud slides and sometimes result in river jams.

While the exact cause of recent floods and landslides has not yet been determined, scientists believe that melting glaciers is a contributing factor./Periscopi/
