Worst floods in Living Memory...Pakistan



PAKISTAN PESHAWAR: Rescue workers and troops in northwest Pakistan struggled Saturday to reach thousands of people affected by the country's worst floods in living memory, as the death toll rose to 800.
Hundreds of homes and vast swathes of farmland were destroyed in the northwest and Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK), with the main highway to China reportedly cut and communities isolated as monsoon rains caused flash floods and landslides.

Stats have been upgraded: Two and a half million people have been affected by the floods and 1500 are dead.
