STORYLINE:
Exhausted villagers in southern Pakistan stood amist their flooded homes on Sunday, seeing most of their belongings and sources of income being washed away by the floods.
37-year-old Nabi Dad and his wife take turns in carrying their child and saving what is left of their belongings as their house in Balochistan's Dera Murad Jamali is submerged in waist-high water following torrential rains.
Every evening, he retrieves his wooden bed and perches it at a vantage point while waiting for help under the open sky.
"My children are hungry and sick, I am in pain, what should I do? I regret now, why (that) this house was built," he told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Flash flooding from the heavy rains has washed away villages and crops as soldiers and rescue workers distributed tents and provided food to thousands of displaced Pakistanis.
Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority reported the death toll since the monsoon season began earlier than normal this year — in mid- June — reached 1,033 people after new fatalities were reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and southern Sindh provinces.
The unprecedented monsoon season has affected all four of the country's provinces.
Nearly 300,000 homes have been destroyed, numerous roads rendered impassable and electricity outages have been widespread, affecting millions of people.
