      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Monday released Rs800 million in relief funds for flood-hit districts and an additional Rs500 million for district Buner, the worst-affected area, as the death toll from devastating floods climbed to 341 across the province.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to official figures, Buner reported the highest number of casualties with 222 deaths, including 192 men, 28 women, and 21 children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least 240 houses were damaged, of which 139 were destroyed and 281 partially damaged.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Swat’s Mingora, several houses collapsed, while heavy rains and landslides wreaked havoc in Peshawar, Swabi, Nowshera, and Mardan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Swabi alone, flash floods and torrential rains have claimed 11 lives and left 20 people injured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the special directives of Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has dispatched 89 trucks loaded with relief goods to the affected districts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The consignments include tents, mattresses, blankets, kitchen sets, tarpaulins, floor mats, mosquito nets, generators, and other daily-use items.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PDMA stated that apart from cash disbursements to local administrations, the government has ensured the immediate availability of relief supplies to stabilise the situation in the worst-hit areas.&lt;/p&gt;
