Horrifying videos captured the moment an entire hotel was swept away by deadly floods in Pakistan.
The ongoing “climate catastrophe” has claimed over 1,000 lives and affected a reported 33 million people.
Pictures and videos emerging from the country paint a terrifying scene of what’s going on.
The Honeymoon Hotel in Kalam, Swat Valley was destroyed and washed away by the floods when the Swat river burst its banks.
A video captured its final moments where the river can be seen flowing near the base of the hotel before it begins to crumble.
As the crowd watched horrified the hotel, thankfully empty at the time, was swept away into the water and vanished from view.
An eyewitness said: "We were watching from our holiday home on the other side of the valley when the hotel was decimated.
"The hotel is one of the most popular and expensive in the region, so seeing it destroyed was a surreal moment."
Another video captures the scale of destruction some areas have faced as the river has burst its banks and destroyed the bridge which once stood above it.
The horrific floods have taken at least 1,033 lives and affected around 33million people so far.
The deadly weather has been labelled a “serious climate catastrophe” by the country’s climate minister as the death toll continues to rise.
The country has increasingly struggled with floods as climate change melts the glaciers in Pakistan - Pakistan is home to the highest number of glaciers outside the polar region.
This causes a huge "glacial lake outburst" which combined with heavy monsoon rains have proven so deadly.
"I haven't seen destruction of this scale, I find it very difficult to put into words ... it is overwhelming,' said Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.
The army has been called in to save villages from the flash flooding and heavy rain which has left millions stranded or needing aid.
Kamran Bangash, a spokesman for the government, said 180,000 people have been evacuated from Charsadda, in the north of the country, and 150,000 from Nowshehra district villages.
The Pakistani government declared a state of emergency and the prime minister has asked for international aid in battling the flood.
The floods began in June and have wreaked havoc in Pakistan ever since. Flooding was so bad local media reported that some dams were damaged and even destroyed in places.
The government said that on Sunday alone 119 people died and the number of injured is thought to be at least 1,456 people.
The United Nations said on Thursday it has allocated £2.5million for UN aid agencies and their partners in Pakistan to respond to the floods.
The UN said: "This will be used for health, nutrition, food security, and water and sanitation services in flood-affected areas, focusing on the most vulnerable."
