Flash floods across northern Pakistan and India-controlled Kashmir have killed at least 344 people in the past 48 hours, local authorities said on Saturday.
Most of the deaths, 328, were reported in the mountains of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in northwestern Pakistan, according to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority.
Eleven more people were killed in Kashmir, while five died in the northern Gilgit-Baltistan region.
Another five people, including two pilots, were killed when a local government helicopter crashed as a result of the bad weather during a relief mission on Friday.
Rescuers began a third day of scouring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday, while others looked for missing people in the Kishtwar district of Kashmir.
