People are offering prayers during the funeral ceremony of victims who died in flash floods in Dera Adam Khel, Pakistan, on July 30, 2024. According to Pakistan's emergency service Rescue 1122, eleven members of a family, including women and children, are drowning after their house's basement is flooded with rainwater during a heavy downpour in Darra Adam Khel. The victims are being trapped while sleeping as the water rises rapidly. This incident is happening amid heavy rains that are alleviating a prolonged drought in the Khyber District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, bringing significant rainfall to areas like Khyber Bara, Jamrud, Landi Kotal, and Tirah Valley, and resulting in cooler temperatures in the region.
