Boys collect wood and other useful items through the rubble of their damaged home following Friday's flash flooding at a neighborhood of Pir Baba, an area of Buner district, in Pakistan's northwest, on Aug. 17, 2025.
BUNER, Pakistan — Rescuers recovered dozens more bodies from the rubble of collapsed homes in a northwestern district of Pakistan, bringing the death toll to at least 274, as authorities defended their response to the flooding and said they did not need any foreign help at this point.
Heavy rains and flooding also killed dozens of people in neighboring Kashmir.
