As dozens of villages hit by flash floods buried their dead across northern Pakistan on Monday, mourners had to cover the freshly dug graves with plastic tarps because the relentless rain gave no respite.

       Nearly 350 people have died in flash floods since torrential rains began falling on northern Pakistan on Friday. Officials warned that the death toll was likely to be much higher and would grow as countless collapsed buildings remained inaccessible, and with more precipitation expected in the coming days.

       “It was like death visited every home,” Abdul Haleem, a local religious figure in the village of Beshonai, said on Monday after leading another burial — the sixth of the day.
