In the past 24 hours, 119 people have died, bringing the death toll to 1,033, as heavy rains continued to batter parts of the country on Sunday.
More than 33 million people, or one in seven Pakistanis, were also affected by the floods and nearly a million homes were destroyed or badly damaged, according to the government.
The NDMA said more than 80,000 hectares of farmland had been ravaged and more than 3,400 kilometers of roads and 149 bridges washed away.
The monsoon, which usually lasts from June to September, is essential for the irrigation of plantations and for replenishing the water resources of the Indian subcontinent. But it also brings its share of drama and destruction each year.
