In response to floods, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government began to administer relief for those affected.[7] Rural areas with poor infrastructure were highly susceptible, and, consequently, some 150 homes were destroyed in the event.[6][9] The floods also caused deadly landslides that killed another 23 people. However, 5 survived and were rescued.[10] Furthermore, the rain washed away bridges and roads in the area, as well as causing crop loss.[10][11]

Another flood began in August. At least 82 people were killed during the floods, including a disaster involving a bus which resulted in the deaths of 27 people and the disappearance of four.[12]

gollark: It doesn't matter. What I'm trying to get at here is that I don't see why you privilege the actual point at which an egg becomes fertilized that much, if your argument is just about potential to become another thing, since almost identical potential exists immediately before that.
gollark: Again, why? Before an egg is fertilized, there must necessarily exist some point at which it wasn't yet but that was likely to happen soon.
gollark: Does that matter? They're still ultimately quite likely to produce a zygote and then quite likely to produce a fetus and whatever else after that.
