Tragedy struck Noor Muhammad when devastating floods in Pakistan killed 24 of his family members and relatives, including his mother, just two days before his wedding. He arrived home from Malaysia to attend funerals instead of his wedding celebrations.

• Over 200 deaths have occurred in Buner district, the worst-hit area, out of nearly 400 in the northwest since August 15.
• The flash floods were triggered by this year's worst monsoon and cloudbursts, rooted in climate change due to global warming.
• The overall death toll across Pakistan from monsoon rains, which began in late June, stands at 776 according to the National Disaster Management Authority.
