UN Secretary-General António Guterres arrived in Pakistan, appealing for "massive" international support to address the devastating flood disaster.
The catastrophic floods, attributed to climate change, have killed over 1,391 people, displaced hundreds of thousands, and disrupted the lives of nearly 33 million.
Record monsoon rains and glacier melt caused widespread destruction of homes, infrastructure, and crops, with Pakistan estimating losses around $10 billion.
The UN has launched a $160 million aid appeal, as Guterres plans to meet officials and tour affected regions to underscore the scale of the catastrophe.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
