Rescuers in north-west Pakistan have pulled 63 more bodies from homes flattened by flash floods and landslides, raising the death toll from rain-related incidents to at least 220, officials said.

One witness who escaped the deluges in Buner described seeing floodwaters carrying hundreds of boulders and “tons of rocks” crashing down.
