Pakistan flooding

Monsoon rains that contributed to yesterday's plane crash in Islamabad, Pakistan, have caused flooding that has killed at least 60 and stranding hundreds of thousands.

Villagers struggle to move to a safe place from a flood-hit village near Nowshera, Pakistan, on Thursday, July 29, 2010. Rivers burst their banks during monsoon rains, washing away streets, battering a dam and killing at least 60 people in most severe floods in decades in northwest Pakistan, officials said Thursday. Hundreds of thousands more were stranded as rescue workers struggled to reach far-flung villages. (AP Photo/Mohammad Sajjad)
