Officials in Pakistan say floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains have destroyed thousands of homes and caused at least 27 deaths.
Mohammed Sajjad, the Punjab relief commissioner, said on Tuesday that 82,000 people had been displaced in the eastern province. The worst affected districts were Rajanpur and Dera Ghazi Khan. He said that more than 3,200 homes were destroyed and vast areas of agricultural land inundated. Officials reported five people had died in Punjab and 22 more in Pakistan's North West Frontier province since Monday. Dawn News TV reported the impact of the floods was greater than official reports suggested and that hundreds of thousands were displaced.
