The Pakistani people are facing a 'monsoon on steroids' said UN secretary general António Guterres, as the country struggles with floods that have killed 1,136, including at least 75 in the last 24 hours.

'Millions are homeless. Schools and health facilities have been destroyed. Livelihoods are shattered, critical infrastructure wiped out, and people's hopes and dreams have been washed away,' said Guterres in a video message. He added: 'It is outrageous that climate action is being put on the back burner as global emissions of greenhouse gases are still rising, putting all of us everywhere in growing danger.'

The UN has issued an urgent new appeal for $160m (£136m) to support the Pakistani government's efforts to help affected people, as Islamabad warns of further floods.
