The country's National Disaster Management Authority added that 119 people had died and 71 injured in the last 24 hours alone.
She highlighted in particular the impact on the south of the country, adding that "maximum" relief efforts are underway. Meanwhile, flood relief centres are being established in various parts of the country to assist collection, transportation and distribution of flood relief goods to victims, the Pakistan Armed Forces said.
Funding and reconstruction efforts will be a challenge for cash-strapped Pakistan, which is having to cut spending to ensure that the International Monetary Fund approves the release of much-needed bailout money.
