At least 72 people have been killed after ten days of heavy rain and flooding in Pakistan. More than 130 have been injured, according to disaster authorities in the country.

Deaths from floods in Pakistan have occurred since June 26 and are reported from several of the country's provinces. Local authorities are urged to continue to be on high alert and tourists are advised against visiting affected areas.

More rain can lead to closed roads and more sudden floods.

In June, 17 tourists from the same family were swept away by the Swat River. Four were rescued, the other 13 were found dead later.

The authorities have warned that it is not possible to rule out new extreme weather of the same type as the floods in 2022, when a third of the country was flooded and 1,737 people were killed.
