FLOODING KILLS HUNDREDS IN PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN
Baku, July 30 (AZERTAC). Floods caused by heavy monsoon rains have killed hundreds of people in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Some 325 people died in north-west Pakistan, while across the border in Afghanistan at least 60 were killed.
In Pakistan, several rivers burst their banks, washing away villages, roads and bridges. Some power supplies have been cut to prevent more electrocutions.
Officials say the floods are the worst the region has experienced in more than 80 years, and further rain is forecast.
